The aim of "The Ethical Challenges of Ageing" is to bring together some of the most significant contributions to the Fourth International Congress on Ethics that took place from 23 March 2011 to 26 March 2011 in Strasbourg. The Congress was organized by the University of Strasbourg European Centre for Ethics Teaching and Research (CEERE), in collaboration with the Universities of Lausanne, Geneva and Amsterdam, and under the patronage of Thorbjørn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, and Roselyne Bachelot, French Minister of Solidarity and Social Cohesion, with the involvement of Philippe Richert, French Minister with responsibility for local government and President of the Alsace Regional Council, and the support of several other organizations. This edition includes a number of contributions from the Fourth JIE and associated activities. All the papers can be viewed on the website (www.ethique-alsace.unistra.fr; see video on Canal Ethique/CanalC2 under "Dans la série: Centre Européen d'Enseignement et de Recherche en Ethique"; direct link: http://www.canalc2.tv/video.asp?idEvenement=569), and will help stimulate a debate that is in no doubt about its objective. It displays all the colours of the autumn, from the brightest to the darkest. It deconstructs the concept of old age with a view to clarifying issues raised by different forms of practice and by representations concerned with older people.

The authors of these papers vary in age, nationality and professional background. They share a belief that all too often older people are not treated justly or fairly, and also a belief that this is particularly true with regard to a proper respect for their dignity as people and a proper allocation of medical and social resources. Their papers, in various ways, give evidence as to what is happening and arguments, based on philosophical ethics, as to why it is wrong. The authors also have a range of proposals, backed by argument and evidence, and drawing on factual material as well as philosophical argument, as to what could be done to improve the situation. This is a book for anyone, whether themselves elderly, looking after an older person, professionally involved in working with older people, or simply realising that one day they will be old, who wants to learn about what is wrong with the present situation and how it might be made better. This book demonstrates, using philosophy as well as factual material, why the way older people are currently treated is often unjust and fails to respect their dignity. It also suggests many ways in which this could be improved. It will interest all who work with or look after older people, or who realize that one day they will be old.

Longtemps, les représentations autour de la vieillesse étaient dominées par des perspectives médicales, centrées sur les maladies, les souffrances, et plus généralement le déclin. Grâce aux progrès biomédicaux, à une meilleure nutrition, à l'aménagement des conditions de travail et d’autres facteurs encore, on assiste aujourd’hui à un allongement de l’espérance de vie et à une nouvelle configuration démographique. Celui qui quitte son travail pour partir à la retraite est aujourd’hui, le plus souvent, en bonne santé. Ce constat ne saurait cependant masquer ni les nombreuses inégalités entre les catégories socioprofessionnelles ou les lieux de résidence, ni les disparités à l’intérieur même du groupe des retraités, ni l’augmentation croissante du nombre des personnes âgées en situation de « perte d’autonomie », ni les questions redoutables autour de la prise en charge, de la discrimination fondée sur l’âge, de la dignité… Les études ici réunies relèvent ces défis et invitent à une réflexion commune dont un des enjeux majeurs est la vie en société.
