It is the physical, spiritual, social and moral essence of human and society that make up the subject of philosophy of health. The philosophy of health does not only specificate the essential qualities of the person’s and the society’s biological, social, emotional, moral, psychological and spiritual modes of comfortable existence. It’s also an effective employment of actions and knowledge aimed at the achievement of different preferences (bio-, social, moral, spiritual) of the person and the society. Health is a harmony of knowledge and existence as such, on the one hand, and the way to achieve them on the other. Narcissism, solipsism, and lack of complex philosophical vision of health problem in its wholeness, consistency and universality of human existence are a great danger and challenge to human health and modes of its achievement.
