Ageing, Humility, and the Monastery

Abstract

Thibault (1993) and Moody (1995) contend that later life, with its “losses and decrements,” can be viewed as a “natural monastery.” This article examines some of the formative literature of the Western monastic tradition in relation to ageing and considers the utility and limits of the idea of ageing as a “natural monastery.”
