Abstract:
The article examines the phenomenon of longevity through the prism of philosophical anthropology, with an emphasis on the existential, phenomenological and ethical aspects of aging. The author analyzes old age not as a biological decline, but as a special stage of human existence, saturated with meaning, reflection and inner completeness. Old age is interpreted as a space of symbolic assembly of biography, cultural transmission and development of gerontological subjectivity. The article substantiates the need to revise utilitarian ideas about old age and to recognize its ontological and anthropological significance.
