| Here is a man of more than Napoleonic stature,
who spreads around him astonishment and dismay; whose words
are perplexing in the extreme; who goes on puzzling his disciples
to the very end; who flaunts the conventional piety of his day; and
yet who all through remains human, without a single trait
characteristic of the Greek hero, the theios aner. The word andragogy is based on the Greek word aner meaning man and
is defined as "the art and science of helping adults learn. King cites Nicole Loraux's work on classical Athens
who states that "'andreia is the attribute of the aner'
and that aner 'designates not so much a period of life, adulthood,
as a mode of being, that of the active virility which is most fully
realised in combat. |
