Abstract
There is an abundance of thought-provoking themes in Kenneth Wain’s
The Learning
Society in a Postmodern World
, and in a short colloquium contribution such as this
I can address only a selected few of these, and then only in an initial way. I’ll
proceed by commenting first of all on the historical context in which the author
places the book’s arguments and critiques. Then I will take up just a few issues that
have struck myself as particularly significant, and offer a few points of my own on
these. In conclusion, I will comment on what Wain discerns as the best prospects
for educational action in our times.
