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. Peter Derkx is Professor Emeritus of Humanism and Worldviews at the University of Humanistic Studies. Anthony B. Pinn is Agnes Cullen Arnold Distinguished Professor of Humanities at Rice University. 606 $aReligion 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy 606 $aPsychology and religion 606 $aReligion 606 $aPhilosophy of Religion 606 $aPsychology of Religion and Spirituality 615 0$aReligion. 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPsychology and religion. 615 14$aReligion. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Religion. 615 24$aPsychology of Religion and Spirituality. 676 $a305.26 700 $aDerkx$b Peter$01733711 701 $aPinn$b Anthony B$0872740 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910845083103321 996 $aMeaningful Aging from a Humanist Perspective$94149602 997 $aUNINA
