Socjologiczne interpretacje zdrowia – próba rekonstrukcji odmiennych rzeczywistości
Sociological Interpretation of Health: an Attempt to Reconstruct Different Realities

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to reconstruct sociological interpretations of health as well as confronting them with the prevailing biomedical model. In this context, the author presents health/illness and medicine assumptions implicated in functional structuralism, conflict theory, phenomenology, pragmatism and poststructuralism. He states that in spite of different perspectives, each of these approaches provides valuable insight into the relationship between health, individual and society.
