Past and Future Trends in Gerontology

Riegel, Klaus F.

Gerontologist, 17, 2, 105-112, Apr 77

This speech, presented at the 29th Annual Gerontological Society, New York, October 16, 1976, compares three conceptualizations of men, society, and development, mechanistic, mentalistic, and dialectical. The implications for gerontology are discussed and summarized in reference to three concepts of time: absolute, relational, and dialectical. (Author)
