The article presents the problem of the old age from the personalistic point of view. (The author refers to the ideas and concepts of the ancient and modern thinkers, such as Cicero, J. A. Komensky, E. Erikson, John Paul II, W. Chudy). First of all, it is necessary to distinguish the two meanings of that term: biological (physical) and personal (moral, spiritual). Important elements of that category include: a sense of temporality, loss of physical strength and possibilities of undertaking activities, distance and reflection, consciousness of the approaching end of life, preparation for death. The main aspect of the pedagogy of the old age is overcoming the crucial opposition of that time: torment – fulfillment.
