Product description
Review
One of the most striking features of educational policy and practice over the past decade has been the rise of lifelong learning. Yet there can be few ideas that stand more in need of careful analysis. This is exactly what Kenneth Wain provides in this book. He brings to his topic a depth of scholarship that charts the development of lifelong learning from lifelong education, drawing on the work of Alasdair MacIntyre and Jürgen Habermas, as well as a range of poststructuralist thinkers. Lifelong learning emerges as an element in globalisation, while the peculiarly postmodern nature of the term is revealed as a critical factor in the equivocations of policy. Anyone interested in the future of lifelong learning, and in its subtle redefining of the public sphere, has much to gain from this fascinating discussion. (Dr Paul Standish, University of Dundee)
