The starting point for contemporary adult education is political education for adults. With its claim to democratise society, it does not align with functional and economic motivations. Klaus-Peter Hufer presents his view of political adult education in his monograph as an active, lively and creative discipline. He introduces objectives, content and methods of the discipline, highlights specific topics and developments and interlinks theoretical backgrounds, scattered expertise and scientific discussions. Hufer regards political adult education as a relevant programme area with professionalisation potential. His work invigorates the discussion about the discipline.weiterlesen
