Philosophical Foundations of Adult Education

Customer Reviews:

Maybe it's just me, but I struggle with some of the less direct philosophies. Elias and Merriam are concise, thoughtful and comprehensive in their review of the history, key concepts and trends in the philosophical foundations of adult education. This is a great book if you need a reference that provides great detail and is understandable.

Therefore, we confess to an overriding desire to induce as many readers as possible to beg, buy or borrow PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF ADULT EDUCATION--not just to add to your personal library so much as to enjoy a reactivated search for your personal truth under the capable ministrations of Elias and Merriam." Dr. June Barth-Dow-Sheats... read more
