ONTOLOGY OF SECURITY (APPENDIX TO THE ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF SECURITY)

Abstract

Security sciences and scientific disciplines (as well as all natural and social sciences), depart from those philosophically determined basic principles that are grouped into theories of the being (existence) of security occurrences (ontology of security), for understanding of safety occurrences (gnoseology of security) and the values and valuation of safety occurrences (axiology of security), whereby presuppose the recognition and appreciation of security occurrences, and vice versa - the recognition of security occurrences presupposes the existence and valuation of what is known, and also the valuation assumes the existence of security occurrences and the methodological and methodological possibility of their recognition. On the aforementioned philosophical basis and methodological direction - our philosophical, i.e., ontological analysis and synthesis of security (as an idea, condition, value, need, interest, function, organization and system) begins with the long-known ontological fact that security as a practice is as old as the human race, arising from the materialization of human emotions and the urge for selfpreservation (the instinct of fear and the biological mechanism of survival of the organism), and the assumptions that man's first thoughts were utterly practical, that is, life itself had to be safe first and foremost - food, heat, protecting against catastrophes and avoiding danger were the first goals of reason, but also a longestablished anthropological finding that the need for protection, security and safety 80 is based on the basic natural laws of the struggle for existence - a sufficiently firm basis for the fact that the need for safety and security is one of the basic needs of people. In this paper we are making an effort to try and open up a debate regarding ontology of security as a separate philosophical discipline aimed at the continuous acquisition and promotion of a reference framework of chronological, current and anticipatory knowledge of the importance, the being and the idea of security (as a condition, value, need, interest, function, organization and system), as well as on the basis of security on the necessity, determinacy, continuity, importance and development of the social-security existence (human being) and humanity as an emergent form of it existence by virtue of its enduring, existential and natural-social need for security. Keywords: ontology of security, importance of security, being of security, idea for security.
