Abstract:
The process of ageing and the relevant scientific disciplines are influenced by societal values und priorities. Values are the object of scientific and public reflection mainly in times of strong changes and obvious conflicts. The article discusses fundamental social and cultural changes from collective integration to personal freedom and autonomy. The focus of this paper is directed towards the impact of the consequences and contradictions of such cultural changes on the process of ageing and of ageing research.
