Abstract
The privileged status of old age (positive goal and ideal point of existence). ~ Generalization of the principle of care of the self (with universal vocation) and connection with sectarian phenomena. ~ Social spectrum involved: from the popular religious milieu to Roman aristocratic networks of friendship. ~ Two other examples: Epicurean circles and the Therapeutae group. ~ Rejection of the paradigm of the law. ~ Structural principle of double articulation: universality of appeal and rarity of election. ~ The form of salvation.
