Abstract. The article is devoted to an urgent problem of human health, the philosophical development of which involves the coverage of all spheres of human life, taking into account changes in people’s lives. The purpose of the study is to show the multidimensionality and versatility of the health phenomenon and its ontological foundations.
In the process of philosophical search, methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, extrapolation, generalization were used.
Considering the well-known theoretical ideas about the concept of health content, the author turns to the WHO materials and the works of specific researchers, in which health is displayed as an integral phenomenon and as its individual components.
The article highlights: 1) the heuristically valuable provisions for the present study on human health as an integral natural-social-spiritual being (I. A. Belyaev); 2) the results of numerous definitions analysis of health concept (P. I. Kalyu); 3) features of health as a system (R. V. Vorobyov).
Emphasizing the substantial wealth of health concept, the author claims that it is these circumstances that indicate the presence of phenomenal hematological grounds.
The first basis – social – allows you to determine human health through behavioral attitudes, moral values and social guidelines. The second basis is a psychological opportunity to show that a person’s health largely depends on his ability to adapt, socialize and build parity relations with other people, preserving his identity and individuality. The third basis – spiritual development – is the positive effect of changing the state of human health, as a result of which the flexibility of axiological manifestations of human abilities, harmonization of internal meanings and orientations with external behavioral forms is ensured.
The considered social, psychological and spiritual foundations of human health do not overlap the entire ontological «field» inherent in it. On the one hand, some ontological foundations of health have been studied quite deeply. On the other hand, there are such ontological foundations of health that require narrowly focused research based on extensive layers of special knowledge. The task of understanding such health reasons as bioethical, evolutionary-population, technical and technological. In the future, as people’s lives are filled with new content, this list of reasons that need priority consideration will certainly expand.
Keywords: spiritual foundations, health, culture, ontological foundations, psychological foundations, social foundations, people.
