A critical gerontology requires more than a simple elaboration
of existing humanistic scholarship on aging. This exceptional new
work introduces a basis for genuine dialogue across humanistic,
scientific, and professional disciplines. Among the topics
addressed are industrial employment, retirement, life styles of
older women, and biological research. From philosophical
reflections on the "third age" to critical perspectives on
institutional adaptations to an aging society, this book presents a
wide range of provocative thought.
