Abstract

Today, the definition of “subjective vitality” is interpreted in many research works as the experience of a person being full of energy, the vital forces available to her. Therefore, there is a need to consider the relationship and difference in the scientific understanding and development of such ends as “life force” and “subjective vitality”. The concept of “life force”, used in modern literature, is devoid of both a supernatural character and the functions of a natural science fact.
 The energy aspect of human functioning is more developed in our opinion in psychological research than in philosophical and natural sciences. For the first time, a description of the energetic component of a personality in line with psychology is found in works performed in line with a psychoanalytic direction. In the dynamic psychology of K. Levin, an approach to the energy component of the personality is described. E. Byrne believed that human energy can be directed inward, towards himself, and outward. From the perspective of describing the nature of vital energy, V. Reich's approach has been developed. According to A. Lowen, a single energy, enclosed in the body, manifests itself both in psychic phenomena and in movements; this energy is bioenergy. In the work of practical psychologists, one can find a difference in understanding of vital energy and energy.
