In their recent book Aging Thoughtfully: Conversations about Retirement, Romance, Wrinkles, and Regret (2017), Martha C. Nussbaum and Saul Levmore consider their subject from two different personal and professional perspectives (philosophy and law, respectively) through the lenses of eight different topics: domination and control; forced retirement; friendship; the human body as it ages, primarily in aesthetic terms; backward-looking emotions; love in the later stages of life; wealth inequities among those who are older; and legacies. Yet they overlook other parts of the aging process that can be approached "thoughtfully," most importantly what I have termed the existential parts of aging, such as senescence; the "medicalization" of life; the issue of where, how, and with whom one will live in one's later years; and the family dynamics that assist in and impinge on the aging process. I explore these existential dimensions through several other writings on aging, as well as through my own experience.

老龄化的存在维度

Martha C. Nussbaum 和 Saul Levmore 在他们最近的着作《深思熟虑的老龄化：关于退休、浪漫、皱纹和遗憾的对话》（2017 年）中，通过八个不同的视角从两个不同的个人和专业角度（分别是哲学和法律）考虑他们的主题。不同的主题：统治和控制；强制退休；友谊; 人体随着年龄的增长，主要是在审美方面；向后看的情绪；爱在生命的后期；老年人之间的财富不平等；和遗产。然而，他们忽略了可以“深思熟虑”地处理的衰老过程的其他部分，最重要的是我称之为衰老的存在部分，例如衰老；生命的“医学化”；晚年在哪里、如何以及与谁一起生活的问题；以及有助于和影响衰老过程的家庭动态。我通过其他几篇关于衰老的著作以及我自己的经历来探索这些存在的维度。
