Die Wissenschaft von der lebenslangen und lebensbreiten Bildung Erwachsener ist seit den 1970er Jahren an deutschen Universitäten vertreten. Jost Reischmann hatte 15 Jahre den Lehrstuhl für Andragogik an der Universität Bamberg inne. Dieser Band enthält seine Beiträge zu Theorie und Didaktik von 1978 bis 2014. Eine spannende Sammlung, welche die dynamische Entwicklung dieses jungen Fachs beschreibt, die wissenschaftliche Diskussion von den Anfängen bis heute nachvollziehbar macht und zum Weiterdenken anregt. Nicht zuletzt will sie jedoch als engagierter Appell zu einem selbstüberzeugten Auftreten ihrer Fachvertreter in Wissenschaft und Praxis verstanden werden.
