The aim of the talk is the presentation of disease, disability and old age in threefold depiction. Firstly, as a philosophical issue that has been niggling philosophers since antiquity, in which the foundations of medicine were created by Hippocrates. Secondly, as a problem of contemporary, humanistic thinkers (doctors, philosophers, sociologists) struggling with these issues as the intimate and personal problem. Thirdly, the analysis of the autobiographical works of writers, affected by the effects of incurable disease and/or disability, examining inevitably forthcoming death in the context of sense and nonsense of human existence.
