				Lesson 6    Introduction
			In “The Pleasure of Learning” ,the author does a good job describing what adult educators in the 1980’s and 1990’s call “lifelong learning”. There is an extensive literature on this subject, which includes many facets. Formal schooling is only one such facet, often the least successful one.         Hight presents a convincing and effective rgument for his view that of all human activities which can be pursued at the individual level, learning is the most gratifying and fulfilling. Because learning can expand our experience, horizons and productivity,it is cumulative. Because the body decays, learning is the only human pleasure that is lasting; it remains with us for a lifetime.
