 Paul Ricoeur and Axel Honneth: Two founding recourses for adult education 
Nowadays, adult education is crossed by syntagms mobilized by a managerial ideology that distorts terms such as autonomy, responsibility or capacity. Following a critical analysis of these diversions, the article first proposes to resituate these semantic shifts in the contemporary context and their evolution in adult education research and practices. The work of Ricoeur and Honneth is then used to discuss their respective contributions to extend these questions. The article ends with the opening that this work allows to lay the foundations of adult education, towards the horizon of a "good life".
