The Role of Time Consciousness in Lifelong Learning: A Theoretical Framework for Adult Education


Overview

This study proposes a critical philosophy and a creative strategy for rethinking the entire field of adult education. It addresses five basic areas of concern while attempting to open a new way of thinking about adult education and lifelong learning, rather than arguing a philosophical position. Specifically, this analysis outlines a dynamic philosophical framework that structures the temporal geography of the adult world and is a critical tool for theory and practice in the field of adult education.
