Product details

Ernst Bloch hoped for a human body whose age would not be a fate of frailty. Current biological aging research at least promises a healthier old age. Unlike Bloch, many of these visions are met with skepticism and rejection. This book examines the reasons for and against a longer life through slowed aging and how convincing they are. We encounter ageist attitudes that trace back to the oldest myths. The negativity towards aging expressed in these attitudes continues to resonate today. From this negative stance, it follows that a longer life is neither beneficial for the individual nor for society. The aim is to reassess and overcome this negativity with the help of philosophical insights, thereby regaining Ernst Bloch's hope for a better old age.
