The meaning or lack of meaning that old age takes on in any given society puts that whole society to the test, since it is this that reveals the meaning or lack of meaning of the entirety of the life leading to that old age. In order to judge our own society we have to compare the solutions it has chosen with those adopted by others through space and time.
