This book examines the relevance of modern medicine and healthcare
in shaping the lives of elderly persons and the practices and
institutions of ageing societies. Combining individual and social
dimensions, Planning Later Life discusses the ethical, social, and
political consequences of increasing life expectancies and
demographic change in the context of biomedicine and public health.
By focusing on the field of biomedicine and healthcare, the authors
engage readers in a dialogue on the ethical and social implications
of recent trends in dementia research and care, advance healthcare
planning, or the rise of anti-ageing medicine and prevention.
Bringing together the largely separated debates of individualist
bioethics on the one hand, and public health ethics on the other,
the volume deliberately considers the entanglements of envisioning,
evaluating, and controlling individual and societal futures. So
far, the process of devising and exploring the various positive and
negative visions and strategies related to later life has rarely
been reflected systematically from a philosophical, sociological,
and ethical point of view. As such, this book will be crucial to
those working and studying in the life sciences, the humanities,
and the social sciences, particularly in the areas of bioethics,
social work, gerontology and aging studies, healthcare and social
service, sociology, social policy, and geography and population
studies.

Kai Brauer analysiert eine Kernfrage der Sozialkapitaldebatte: Wie
ist burgerschaftliches Engagement unter den Vorzeichen von
Individualisierung und okonomischer Krise moglich? Der Autor hat
eine Community Study in Clanton, Iowa durchgefuhrt. Diese
ethnographische Studie eines erfolgreichen Falles zivilen
Engagements macht deutlich, dass die den Ort pragenden Clans und
Cliquen keineswegs in traditionalen Ligaturen gefangen sind,
sondern selber als Bestandteile des Individualisierungsprozesses
wirken. Zur Definition und Forderung von burgerschaftlichem
Engagement werden auf fallrekonstruktiver Basis Strukturprinzipien
vorgeschlagen, die eigenstandige Koordinaten bereitstellen. Diese
lenken jenseits der Messung solidarischer Einstellungen und der
Zahlung von Vereinsmitgliedschaften den Blick auf die gunstigsten
Verfahren und Organisationsprinzipien zivilen Engagements.
