エーリッヒ・フロムにおける「健康」と「幸福」 : クォリティ・オブ・ライフ」に関する基礎付けの試み [>Health< and >Happiness< in Erich Fromm: Having an Elementary Concept of the >Quality of Life<]

  • When we talk about the >quality of life< (QOL) we should inquire just into the >quality< of human life. Generally speaking, a qualitative thing includes something original that has no substitute. Each person's existence is an irreplaceable life, and it has a unique value. QOL is a subject about the qualitative values of human life. The pursuit of QOL is the pursuit of a >healthy< human life or >happiness.< E. Fromm said that a person represents the whole human being, and that an individual is a physico-spiritual totality. He also said that the goal of a person in life is to be himself. According to Fromm, the fundamental human desire aims to conquer >existential dichotomies,< such as >life and death,< >solidarity and aloneness.< Everyone shows one's answer depending on his/her character or personality. Only a >productive character< can get happiness through its answer. That is the basic attitude by which >human nature< and >individuality< are brought into full play at the same time. Such a person gropes for a >sane society<. And such a society ought to bring up sound persons. QOL as elements of a living environment are useful as conditions for happiness. However, the most important thing is the >quality< of each one's life itself. This kind of QOL is shown by the basic attitude as >personality.< A person who lives a well-filled life has a high quality of life. The scale of quality of life as the standard common to human beings is >human nature,< which is also the foundation of human equality. This is the >basis< of human rights. And each person will be the judge of the matter connected with >happiness<, making use of the activation of individuality. So, medical persons should not confuse QOL and >social usefulness!< Medical preference order is not a problem of QOL but purely a problem of medical technique.
