Abstract

Quality of life has been existed as a phenomenon that affects medical thoughts and actions from past to present. It has been discussed in the context of different concepts such as happiness, meaningful life, living a comfortable life, the purpose of life, the chance to live and the value of life. The historical basis of these discussions can be traced back to the Ancient Greek philosophers: Plato and Aristotle. The aim of our study is to determine the ancient period predecessors of “quality of life concept” in the light of their well known works “The Republic” and “Nicomachean Ethics”, which were focused on the subjects of “happiness” and “the good life”

Özet

Yaşam kalitesi geçmişten günümüze tıbbi düşünce ve eylemleri etkileyen bir olgu olarak varlığını sürdürmüş ve mutluluk, anlamlı yaşam, kendini iyi hissetme, rahat bir yaşam sürme, yaşama gayesi, yaşama şansı ve hayatın değeri gibi birçok farklı kavram çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır. Bu tartışmaların tarihsel temelleri “mutluluk” ve “iyi yaşam” konularını irdeleyen Yunan filozoflarına; Platon’a ve Aristo’ya dayandırılmaktadır. Çalışmamızın amacı bu filozofların “Devlet” ve “Nikomakhos’a Etik” isimli eserlerinde yer alan yaşam kalitesi kavramının antik dönemdeki öncüllerini belirlemektir
