Abstract
The work of postmodern and feminist philosophers such as Jean-Francois Lyotard and Luce Irigaray has a special relevance for the study of ag ing. It paves the way towards a more intricate perspective on subjecti vity and rationality allowing for a more adequate view on the relation between theory and practice and the role of values in the practice of care.
