Description

The purpose of this paper is to discuss what I consider to be the critical rcle of adult education in a modern democratic society. Within this discourse I will state that the only purpose of education in a democracy is the continuation (or stimulation) of life, physically and psychologically. Throughout history education has been a useful instrument for the physical development of life but has evolved into an instrument that sustains the threat to the existence of man.

I recommend an educational solution to this predicament and have coined the not-so-original term "bah humbuggism" to identify this proposed movement.

Bah Humbug: Application of the Scientific Temper to Education for Adults
