title: Philosophy of aging.
abstract: Aging is a complex biological process with a poorly understood mechanism of its regulation. Although numerous theoretical and experimental reports were dedicated to this interesting problem, it is doubtful that a single theory or mechanism can explain the nature of aging. In order to facilitate our current understanding of the aging process, we propose to consider it from a philosophical point of view based on a few postulates.
