Abstract
The article provides an review of problematization of social wellbeing. The author highlights the approaches to substantiating the definition of a phenomenon in various branches of knowledge based on the historical method and proposes to apply an interdisciplinary approach based on a divergent vision of the phenomenon as be the most relevant in the modern context of the socio-economic development of society. An important research aspect is the linguistic and semantic analysis of those forms that are used for the semantic expression of the phenomenon. The conceptualization of reality by an individual takes place with the help of the language and linguistic rules that are characteristic of certain societies. At the same time, the author outlines the difference between that the phenomena of wellbeing per se and social wellbeing. The paper also highlights the existential and meaning-forming aspect of social wellbeing. According to the author, the phenomenon of social wellbeing is a reflection of the cognitive movement of the individual and society on the way to the axiological reflection of the socio-cultural being of the individual. Herewith, constant transformation and changes in comprehension are possible, which may conflict with the accumulated experience or even ignore it.
