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.
