The limited duration of our lives (and therefore aging) is obviously at the center of phylosophy and religion since records of these activities are available. Since aging is a physiological process that – although variable in its manifestations – can be observed in every human and can be defined as age-dependent reduction in the performance of basically every physiological function, there is hardly another field of physiology that provides such an extensive interface with the humanities.
