Human ageing is always subject to cultural interpretation. The
continuous process of maturing and decline thus only becomes
recognisable and significant with the idea of life stages. Here,
topoi such as those of the simple child or the wise grey head as
habitual patterns of understanding and thought reveal the social
and cultural knowledge of life stages in tradition and change. The
papers in this volume examine sources from biblical tradition right
through to the 21st century and enquire into the argumentative
force of the topic, with which apparently fixed ways of thinking
can vary and thus open new perspectives on life stages.
