This book demonstrates the ways in which we become social human beings: internalising, accommodating and rejecting the culture to which we are exposed (both primarily and through electronic mediation) while growing and developing as human beings and people.

Offers a different perspective on lifelong learning and the learning society and locates them within humanity itself. This book addresses the issues that arise from the vision of the learning society. It concludes that since human beings continue to learn, so the learning society must be a process within the incomplete project of humanity.

This book looks at the development of the knowledge economy; and provides a critique of lifelong learning and the learning society.

This book provides a comprehensive and existential theory of individual learning throughout the lifespan.
