Dieser Band betrachtet das menschliche Leben aus drei Perspektiven, die alle mit seiner zeitlichen Begrenztheit verknüpft sind: Erstens wird untersucht, worin die zeitliche Einheit eines menschlichen Lebens besteht, wo genau es beginnt und wo es endet. Dabei stellt sich heraus, dass die Kategorien "Leben" und "Tod" keine rein naturwissenschaftlichen Begriffe sind. In einem zweiten Schritt werden verschiedene Kausalerklärungen des Alterns, wie sie die neue Wissenschaft der Biogerontologie aufstellt, einer wissenschaftstheoretischen und metaphysischen Analyse unterzogen: Sind die Entdeckungen der Biogerontologie medizinisch verwertbar? Welche normativen Implikationen haben sie? Der dritte Schritt behandelt ausführlich die Frage, ob eine radikale Verlängerung des menschlichen Lebens aus ethischer Sicht wünschenswert ist. Grundlage dafür bildet eine differenzierte Theorie des Guten Lebens.

Dokter Lucien De Cock onderhield een nauw contact met haar. De geneeskunde evolueert steeds verder waardoor minder mensen vroeg overlijden door ziekte en men bijgevolg steeds ouder wordt. Ook de mens zelf gaat op zoek naar tips om zo lang mogelijk te leven.Maar wat is dat juist: verouderen? En hoe kunnen we het tegengaan? Kunnen we met andere woorden naast langer leven, ook beter leven? Geriater Lucien De Cock vertelt het allemaal in dit uitermate boeiend en allesomvattend boek over ouder worden. Naast medische uitleg over ouder worden, geeft De Cock ook ontelbare praktische tips om het verouderingsproces tegen te gaan. Heb je altijd al willen weten wat je moet eten om 100 te worden, hoe bepaalde ziektes voorkomen kunnen worden of hoeveel lichaamsbeweging wenselijk is om een eeuweling te worden, dan moet je dit onmisbare boek onmiddellijk in huis halen.

This series of brief and sparkling philosophical essays explores the Principle of Continuity as it impacts discussions of the Big Bang and the expansion of the universe, God, infinity, biological immortality and evolution. From Ancient Greece to the frontiers of modern science, some egregious blunders have been made in both philosophy and in theoretical physics. The old theory of Continuous Creation was blown up by the Big Bang theory, but the author shows that this is just another ontological quagmire that conflicts with the First Law of Thermodynamics (conservation)-and common sense.
