Abstract

The complexity and diversity of current social phenolmena are pressing against traditional economic theories which, by themselves, are unable to give a proper explanation to the continuous changes our society is facing. In this context, the need for multi- and inter-disciplinary appears to be particularly intense when one tries to explain and asses the quality of today human life. Thus, economics cannot afford to be an isolate or an "autistic" science solely preoccupied by the efficient allocation of scarce resources. Nevertheless, the new social science, in spite its multi- and inter- disciplinary character should also pay serious attention to its conceptual hypothesis and methodological foundations. Following this line of thought, the present paper aims to analyze the recent studies in quality of life in order to find out and synthetize the most important conceptual and methodological foundations of this new field of research.
