The anthology offers different perspectives on Die Kultur des Alterns von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart (The Culture of Aging from Antiquity to the Present). The study is divided into three sections (I. The historical perspective, II. The medical view, III. Age and aging as a challenge for the individual and society in the present and the future). He avoids narrowing the problematic of an aging society to merely pensions and financial-political aspects by instead placing the focus on the social history of aging, the elderly, and geriatrics. However, an attempt at examining the future perspectives against this background is only made by social statistics, philosophy, and sociology in the final section. Most contributions do not duly treat gender-specific differentiation in age and aging through history and in the present.Downloads
