The creative andragogic existence

Active existence and the creative existence that develops within it

Abstract

For more than a century, the creators and developers of andragogy have been doing good service to all those who wish to find their way in the world and the affairs of the country, and to those who wish to keep their jobs through their professional training and further training, or to raise their professional activities to a higher level. The increasing number of studies devoted to the development and use of andragogy science more and more fully highlights the concept of andragogy and thus the need to further develop its practice. This effort is summarised in the summary work NETWORKS IN THE WORLD OF CULTURE AND ADULT EDUCATION (2020) published by Erika Juhász Lilla Pető, which includes the presentations of the Mátyás Durkó conference. As at previous conferences, however, the lectures, evaluations and debates at this conference discussed andragogy in a closer context with the sciences of psychology and sociology. This can be seen as preparation for the expansion of andragogy science. The dissertations prompted me to attempt in this paper to outline the foundations of the extended application of andragogy, as far as possible.
