Adult education has frequently assumed a political role in society
and has also been regarded as a social movement. The first
systematic attempt to analyze it from the perspective of political
theory, "Adult Education and the State" examines the purpose of
adult education, the reasons it should be regarded as a citizenship
right, and how modes of formal and non-formal adult education
function as instruments of government or democracy.
Beginning with a historical perspective, Peter Jarvis examines the
relationship between adult education and civil society. He
discusses the concept of democracy and illustrates the variety of
different forms with which the education of adults may be related.
The idea of citizenship is also examined, and it is suggested that
the education of adults may be regarded as a citizenship right
which in some cases is being lost as a result of current government
policies. The author also looks at the relationship between liberal
adult education and society, suggesting that its provision is one
of the symbols that a society is moving on the long journey towards
becoming civilized. The final chapter illustrates the existence of
utopian thought in radical adult education.
