Abstract

— The article provides a brief overview of approaches to the definition of the concept of “subjective quality of human life”. A new theoretically substantiated version of this concept is proposed. The possibilities of constructing a corresponding quantitative measure are considered. This article aims to (1) express the authors’ opinions on some of the existing theoretical views on the problem, (2) propose their own concept of subjective quality of life, and 3) show that it is implementable.
