This new, updated edition of Selected
Writings on Philosophy and Adult Education reflects developments in the field of adult education since Philosophical Foundations of Adult Education was originally published in 1984. Included in this edition are selections representing critical theory, phenomenology, and feminist theory. Further, new material reflecting more traditional philosophical traditions has been added, such as selections from Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind, Nadler and Nadler's Developing Human Resources, and
Mezirow's Fostering Critical Reflection in Adulthood. These and other additions complement "classic" selections by Dewey, Lindeman, Skinner, Freire, and others. **Target audience: Students in graduate programs in adult education. Graduate students in related areas of education and practitioners in adult education, administration, social work and health fields. |
