El tiempo que queda

In a sequence of short essays, a philosopher thinks through ageing as something both personal and shared. Moving between poetic, narrative and conceptual passages, and between the care owed to ageing parents and to growing children, she questions a culture that makes people feel old at thirty and sells treatments to erase the traces of time, and she links the way we treat ageing bodies to the way we treat nature. Bringing Western philosophy into dialogue with ancestral knowledge, she argues for welcoming later life as a period with possibilities of its own, tied to memory and to responsibility towards other people and the earth, at a time when climate science has made the collapse of our world a real prospect rather than a theological one.
