ISBN-13: 978-0-8261-8020-9, ISBN: 0-8261-8020-5

Hardcover, 432 Pages, Published 1994 by Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-507369-0, ISBN: 0-19-507369-X

"Most of us today can expect to live into our seventies in reasonably good health. (In fact, the fastest growing segment of the population is the group eighty-five and older.) Yet our culture offers few convincing ways to help us find purpose in our later years. The ancient and medieval vision of aging as a mysterious part of the eternal order of things has given way to the secular, scientific, and individualistic outlook of modernity. N ..."

Reflections from the Humanities

Paperback, 316 Pages, Published 1987 by Duke University Press Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-8223-0817-1, ISBN: 0-8223-0817-7

"Editor's Introduction. In his wide-ranging philosophical essay, Harry R. Moody reminds us that timeless questions ("The Meaning of Life and the Meaning of Old Age") do not have timeless answers. All thought is historically conditioned — that is, related to changing structures of power and patterns of culture. This insight encourages Moody to analyze contemporary philosophical discussions of meaning in light of our modern "therapeut ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8223-0545-3, ISBN: 0-8223-0545-3

"In What Does It Mean to Grow Old? essayists come to grips as best they can with the phenomenon of an America that is about to become the Old Country. They have been drawn from every relevant discipline--gerontology, social medicine, politics, health, anthropology, ethics, law--and asked to speak their mind. Most of them write extremely well [and their] sharply individual voices are heard."
