The author analyzes old age not as a biological decline, but as a special stage of human existence, saturated with meaning, reflection and inner completeness. Old age is interpreted as a space of symbolic assembly of biography, cultural transmission and development of gerontological subjectivity. The article substantiates the need to revise utilitarian ideas about old age and to recognize its ontological and anthropological significance.</abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>longevity</kwd><kwd>aging</kwd><kwd>the meaning of life</kwd><kwd>philosophical anthropology</kwd><kwd>identity</kwd><kwd>existence</kwd><kwd>physicality</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>долголетие</kwd><kwd>старение</kwd><kwd>смысл жизни</kwd><kwd>философская антропология</kwd><kwd>идентичность</kwd><kwd>экзистенция</kwd><kwd>телесность</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Щербакова Е.
