Abstract
The article deals with the approaches to the content of notion health elaborated in foreign sociology. In general, two main directions are distinguished: objective and subjective. The objective direction considers health from normative point of view focusing mainly on the biological foundation of this phenomenon. The subjective direction examines the issue of health from axiological position in the hierarchy of universal human values. The critical assessment of these directions is provided in framework of general trends of foreign sociologic thought.
