Aging is a topic of growing interest. As life expectancy in western societies is increasing, the growing number and proportion of 'elderly' persons raise urgent questions on how to age 'well'. Predominantly, questions on aging are taken from biomedical and economic paradigms, which are intertwined. While people of age are seen as a cost in society, biomedical research aims at curing the declining effects of aging, thus furthering ideals of 'healthy' aging, 'active' aging, or 'successful' aging. In this book, Peter Derkx offers a comprehensive account of meaningful aging with Anthony Pinn responding in a fruitful and constructive way, for the benefit and edification of all of us.
