What is the best phase of life? Youth or maturity? In youth, we seek the independence and wisdom that older people have; but when we get older, we want the vigor of youth back. Do we spend our lives waiting for the age when we will be completely happy? In this Philosophical Café, historian Leandro Karnal talks about this utopia of the perfect age. Karnal analyzes the values associated with youth in different periods of history and shows us the new meanings that youth and old age assume in today's world. For him, this recurring dissatisfaction at all ages may be a symptom of our inability to live in the present. Program aired in 2009.
