The title can be translated as "The Ages. Their ethical and pedagogical importance". In this brief essay, the fruit of a course in ethics, Romano Guardini reflects on the stages of human life, their positive and negative aspects, and the duties that correspond to each of these stages. Life, the author points out, is a path that must be followed step by step, in which each moment brings novelties. The question that arises is how to live each step to approach the goal, which is the fullness of life.
