Continuity of health of soul and body: in the context of philosophical views and medical paradigms

Abstract

In the era of globalization, socio-cultural transformations and the expansion of the information space haveprofoundly influenced the content and methodology of health research. In contemporary science, the conceptof health is no longer confined to biological parameters but is interpreted as a biopsychosocial phenomenonthat necessitates a comprehensive examination of the interrelation among the physical, psychological, and so-cial dimensions of human existence. Within this framework, understanding mental well-being as a fundamen-tal prerequisite for physical health has become a pivotal direction in interdisciplinary studies of human integ-rity. This article provides a comprehensive philosophical and medical analysis of the interconnection betweenmind and body. Drawing on the works of thinkers and scholars from antiquity to the present day, it elucidatesthe significance of psychosomatic unity in shaping human existence. From a medical-paradigmatic perspec-tive, the reciprocal influence of body and soul is examined, revealing their harmony as a continuation of theholistic worldview within modern scientific thought. The relevance of the study is determined by the increas-ing importance of reinterpreting the unity of mind and body under conditions of spiritual crisis, psycho-emotional instability, and transformation of life values in contemporary society. The research integrates phil-osophical-anthropological and medical perspectives, highlighting the harmony of mind and body as a key de-terminant of human well-being and quality of life. The findings substantiate that physical health is inextrica-bly linked to mental well-being, and that their interdependence constitutes the essential foundation of bothphysical stability and spiritual resilience
