This book review assesses results of Zh. Toshchenko’s decades-long academic efforts. Conceptually, they are presented in his recent book as sociology of life. Novelty of this concept is discussed emphasizing its integralist character, its openness to further refinements. The offered concept, so reviewer, is well built-in into extant outlines of contemporary social knowledge.
