Justice for Ageing: Rhetoric as a Tool for Legal Guidelines

Abstract

This article deals with the issue of social justice, starting from a case study of the Italian Constitutional Court, which denounces the regulatory gap and the need for concerted public action to promote intergenerational integration and active ageing in an era characterised by a rapidly ageing population. The article proposes a study of the issue through a rhetorical argumentative approach and finally proposes some strategies to challenge the stereotype of ageing and promote intergenerational integration.
