The book THE FOUNDATIONS OF ADULT EDUCATION is a valuable study tool and another significant contribution from Peter Jarvis, who edited it. It presents the life and work of seventeen individuals who are among those who played a crucial role in establishing the field of adult education from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
Most of them developed issues that are considered relevant to this day and serve as a reference and source of inspiration (Dewey, Freire, Argyris, Knowles, Schoen, Gelpi, Cross, Horton, Lindeman, Houle, etc.). The book offers numerous prompts for the reader to discern and understand the social conditions, ideological currents, scientific approaches, struggles, disputes, and achievements that have characterized adult education from the time it was established as an institution to the present day.
