Pluralism of Interpretations of the Concept of Security in Socio-Humane Sciences
Abstract
The article analyzes the variants of interpretations of the notion of security in such social and humanitarian sciences as sociological, political, economic, psychological and some others, makes their comparative analysis on the basis of which we revealed common and distinct features between them, analyzed the reasons and factors that make the feasibility of both general and special for related sciences and peculiar for each of them. It is emphasized that the plurality of interpretations of the notion of security in social sciences and humanities is due to: the objective complexity of security as a phenomenon of reality; its connections with various natural, technical, social phenomena and processes; peculiarities of comprehension of the notion of security in various social sciences and humanities; the problems of forming both an interdisciplinary definition of it, and a general understanding within the boundaries of individual sciences. In the field of sociological sciences, most scholars tend to interpret social security in the context of development and stability of social life. As a basis for specific definitions of social security, as in philosophy, such options for interpreting security as feature, state, activity, protection, etc. are used. Unlike sociological sciences, for political science more inherent is not the formation of a general concept of political security, but comprehension of political aspects of security problems of various internal and external spheres of social life of Ukraine, other states, international and European institutions. In economic sciences, the general concept of “economic security” is also formed on the basis of interdisciplinary concepts of “security”, but with their adaptation to the peculiarities of both the economic sphere of social life and economic science itself. In addition, the article outlines the main directions of research in the sciences of state administration, national security, and others.
