The aim of "The Ethical Challenges of Ageing" is to bring together some of the most significant contributions to the Fourth International Congress on Ethics that took place from 23 March 2011 to 26 March 2011 in Strasbourg. The Congress was organized by the University of Strasbourg European Centre for Ethics Teaching and Research (CEERE), in collaboration with the Universities of Lausanne, Geneva and Amsterdam, and under the patronage of Thorbjørn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, and Roselyne Bachelot, French Minister of Solidarity and Social Cohesion, with the involvement of Philippe Richert, French Minister with responsibility for local government and President of the Alsace Regional Council, and the support of several other organizations. This edition includes a number of contributions from the Fourth JIE and associated activities. All the papers can be viewed on the website (www.ethique-alsace.unistra.fr; see video on Canal Ethique/CanalC2 under "Dans la série: Centre Européen d'Enseignement et de Recherche en Ethique"; direct link: http://www.canalc2.tv/video.asp?idEvenement=569), and will help stimulate a debate that is in no doubt about its objective. It displays all the colours of the autumn, from the brightest to the darkest. It deconstructs the concept of old age with a view to clarifying issues raised by different forms of practice and by representations concerned with older people.
