Abstract
How can one make sense of such a complex endeavor as the practice of adult education? The editors of this volume have adopted the notion of contexts. The contexts of adult education include:
Historical contexts that shape the practice of adult educators
Philosophical contexts that underpin their activities
Socio-economic contexts by which practitioners are informed
Community contexts in which they are located
Practice contexts that their activities reveal
