• Sommario/riassunto: Life must be conceived as the result of evolution and human life as the emergence of the species Sapiens from the genus Homo of the family of apes. If the emergence of human life as an evolutionary fact is coupled with the notion of social life, we are referred to the constructive production of human life forms, of which social participation is an integral part. On the one hand, participation is tied back to the phylogenesis of the species Sapiens, but on the other hand, it has to be acquired and practiced anew by every human being in the process of ontogenesis, depending on the environment. Participation in old age is a separate specification of the conditions of this process and can be illustrated on the basis of a large number of empirical findings. The content History of ideas and epistemological approach.- Social gerontological centering.- Empirical findings from recent research.- Multiple interpretations.

A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
