Abstract

The author of the paper  aims to  re - concept the sociologic al approach, which has been used to study the way of life. This  re - conceptualization reflects the dynamics of the country`s social processes. The new concept permits a modern scientific  understanding of the  nature  and the process of social relations  ( as opposed to an ideological or a commonplace understanding). Another novelty is that the concept is based on subject - activities dynamics  rather than  on structural - functional dynamics, as it was done  before . The new concept includes dialectically interconnected categories: the style, the mode and the way of life. The analysis  starts with the study of the singular (the style of life), then discovers the particular (the mode o f life) and finally detects the  global/general (the characteristics of the way of l ife). The scientific analysis of the way of life is not only related to the  cu r- rent  social space, but it also predicts its future state.
