Without any precise or consistent definition, the imagination of successful and productive aging has meanwhile become the basic illusio of the (psycho) gerontological field. The article examines to what extent a utilitarian term like success can be applied to the aging process. It examines further, if the imagination of successful aging is a faulty representation (allodoxy) of aging, which was brought in as a consciously antipodal system of explanation (heterodoxy) nourished by the attempt to set something positive against the negative societal stereotypes of aging, thus, deceiving itself being the prevailing modus of interpretation (orthodoxy) in the socio-gerontological field.
由于没有任何精确或一致的定义，成功老龄化和富有成效的老龄化的概念同时成为了（心理）老年学领域的基本幻想。本文探讨了像成功这样的功利主义术语在多大程度上可以应用于衰老过程。它进一步研究成功老龄化的概念是否是对衰老的错误表述（异说），这种表述作为一种有意识的对立解释系统（异教）被引入，该系统通过试图用积极的东西来对抗社会对老龄化的负面刻板印象而得到滋养，因此，它欺骗自己成为社会老年学领域中占主导地位的解释方式（正统）。
