Summary
Ageing, Meaning, and Social Structure advances the critical discourse on gerontology, offering new understandings of key social and ethical dilemmas facing ageing societies. Confronting approaches that have been relatively isolated from one another, it integrates two major streams of thought within critical gerontology: analyses of structural issues in the context of political economy and humanist perspectives on issues of existential meaning, providing indispensible reading for scholars, students, policymakers, and practitioners in gerontology and humanism studies.
