Adult education has taken centre stage in global discussion about the future of humankind. The ideal of the learning society, the learning organisation and the empowered citizen present a radical reorientation for educators everywhere. Designing the just learning society rigorously examines this ideal - its historical origins in early modernity and rhetorical uses - in order to understand the cultural and institutional transformations necessary to create a just learning society. This passionate text speaks directly to an important body of professional and scholarly debate in adult education worldwide. It will be of great interest to government and adult education policy-makers, theorists, practitioners, organisational development proponents and social movement activists. It could be read by anyone interested in how we might create a more just and humane society. The learning focus distinguishes this text from others grappling with contemporary issues.
