Aging is a topic of growing interest. As life expectancy in western societies is increasing, the growing number and proportion of â€˜elderlyâ€™ persons raise urgent questions on how to age â€˜wellâ€™. 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 â€˜healthyâ€™ aging, â€˜activeâ€™ aging, or â€˜successfulâ€™ 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.
