Summary/Abstract: The concept of the quality of life (QoL) concerns evaluative judgment of people’s life. In the current literature this issue is treated with epistemological, mainly quantitative approach using subjective interpretation of the QoL assessment. In this article, it is argued that the innovative approach based on phenomenological and qualitative methodology is better suited to deal with. The application of the concept of intersubjectivity was presented as a mean to assess the complexity of the QoL.
