Man and his life

In terms of their content, the substantial concepts of "nature" and "essence" in relation to a person in the functional aspect are revealed in the categories of "vital activity", which has operational capabilities, that is, the ability to become an instrument for a concrete study of the process of human existence. It is shown that limiting the study of human life activity only by a sociological approach prevents the creation of a general theory of human lifestyle, which, in turn, makes it possible to synthesize conceptual schemes of various aspects of life, developed by the special sciences. It is emphasized that it is not enough to analyze the ratio of social and physiological factors of a person to refer only to his biological nature.
