This work is a philosophical and ethical examination on the relation between suffering
time-experience and aging. The work focuses on the analysis of a special form of suffering of
human beings due to the confrontation with the finiteness and transience of individual
life-time. This negative time-experience is considered to be particular for modern societies
and leads people to use technologies like anti-aging-medicine to avoid it. The author explains
why the strategies used to avoid this confrontation are finally ineffective maybe even
dangerous and shows from a philosophical perspective why the confrontation with time can be
considered the basis for a good life.
