[«New gerontology» as a philosophy of age and meaning: a transdisciplinary approach]

The article examines the concept of «new gerontology» as a philosophical and humanitarian reflection on age, aging and the meaning of life in the context of demographic transition and increasing life expectancy. The emphasis is placed on the transdisciplinary nature of modern gerontology, integrating biomedical, sociocultural and existential dimensions. It is shown that the «new gerontology» transforms the idea of old age as a deficit and decrease, offering an image of a productive, meaningful and active late age. The necessity of philosophical understanding of aging as an anthropological and axiological phenomenon is substantiated.
