Pedagogy and Spirituality of Elderly Age

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to organically grasp gerontological pedagogy and spirituality – upbringing in the perspective of old age. Pedagogy of the last part of human life is one of the youngest disciplines of general pedagogy. We are currently witnessing its dynamic growth connected with global demographic changes, the development of medicine and constant extension of life-span, a result of which is the positive perception of the issue of old age and an urgent need for professional medical care but also appropriate organic gerontology. This is because what determines the value of life is not one’s age but rather whether it was well lived and developed wisely and beautifully. What is crucial is the final result (aim/end) of a complex process of teaching and upbringing of a human being.
