AnnotationThis article deals with the notion of Good Living - Living Well, deeply rooted in critical Latin American thinking. Its aim is to revise some theoretical conceptions inherited from the prevailing European and American gerontological traditions. First, an epistemic framework is established, to consider how the cultural dimension influences ways of making up scientific knowledge on old age and ageing. Secondly, the authors discuss the concept of Good Living or Living Well as a theoretical and political contribution that may allow us to rethink meanings, policies and gerontological practices in the Latin American region. Next, they look at ageing in the imagination of Indo-American ancestral cultures. Finally, they produce some guidelines on the concept of Good Living that may contribute to the education of older adults. (RH).
