The Third Edition of Philosophical Foundations of Adult Education presents seven theoretical approaches to adult
education: liberal, progressive, behaviorist, humanist, radical/critical, analytic, and postmodern. The book gives
the historical grounding as well as the basic principles for each approach. In this edition each chapter has been
revised and brought up to date. The chapter on radical adult education incorporates recent developments in radical
education, phenomenology, feminist educational theory, and critical social theory. The book contains an entirely
new chapter on postmodern adult education.
