The text reflects on learning in old age as a research category in geragogy. In particular, an attempt was made to recall the humanistic perspective of learning in old age. The subject of the analysis was the functions of learning in old age. Each of them emphasizes the aspects of ”Humanitas” and thus the humanistic dimension of learning in old age. The text is an attempt to recall and defend the inherent values of humanity, even in old age, embedded in learning processes. This reminder is essential in times of increasing influence of information technology and artificial intelligence, which threaten humanity, especially for individuals with less need for change and limited adaptive abilities.
