The issue of quality of life is a complex interdisciplinary problem, but its philosophical level is crucial for its solution. The aim of this publication is to identify the diversity of philosophical approaches, starting points and attitudes from which the proposed methods of influencing the quality of life factors are derived and to clarify how the issue is currently approached, what themes resonate within it and how they are addressed.

In this context, the experience of limiting...
