Description

Aging and Self-realization: Cultural Narratives about Later Life by Hanne Laceulle explores the dominant cultural narratives that dismiss the value senior citizens hold for society. Laceulle offers a counter-narrative, drawing on philosophical thought about self-realization to highlight the significance of concepts such as autonomy, authenticity, and virtue in later life. Her work aims to support older individuals in their search for meaningful age identity while promoting society's recognition of its senior members as valued participants and moral agents. By examining cultural-philosophical perspectives on aging, Laceulle provides a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding later life, challenging readers to reconsider their assumptions about this stage of human experience.
