We can propose that the practice of Community Adult Education belongs in the public sphere because it enables forming the subject of this sphere.
In this context, it occupies the interest to get involved in co-operation in the intermediary sphere between state and civil society, however, as far as depending on dualism theory (individual-society, being-norm··), it is difficult to find the logic for forming subject of public sphere in co-operation.
In this paper, co-operation is considered the process for uniting the devided (speaking strictly, contradictional) daily life on which dualism is based.
The centre of its process is the experience of co-operative work. At first, the concerns of participants in co-operation are limited to private interest, but through the experience of co-operative work, their concerns are transformed into communal interest. When participants reflect this process, they will be able to understand the logic for transformative learning process, and the way to reach communal and autonomical sphere. We may find the possibility for limiting the power of state, and subject of public sphere within them. The essence of community adult education has been regarded as an educational aspect of popular movement, but its meaning has to be re-explained in the above-mentioned context.
