Abstract

The paper conducts an analytical review of the history of understanding the phenomenon of health, reveals all the diversity in approaches and judgments about this conceptual category. It is emphasized that the interpretation of the concept of health is important not only the medical and scientific aspect, but also has a key socio-psychological significance for the development of modern society and the formation of a person's personality. On the example of coronavirus infection, the article provides a justification for the relevance of the semantic content of this conceptual category now. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the analytical studies of the concept of health as a basic socio-psychological conceptual category and the development on this basis of new theoretical approaches and corresponding definitions of the concept of health and its main derivatives. The proposed interpretations, according to the author, have a more pronounced social and psychological determinant for the formation in modern society of a new worldview regarding the concept of health and its derivatives. Because of new conceptual priorities, as shown in the work, it is possible to significantly strengthen the health of the population, increase the individual, herd level of immunity, and improve, ultimately, the quality of the very realization of a person in all spheres of his life.
