National Security in the Context of Transdisciplinarity
Abstract
Abstract. The article is devoted to contemporary issues in the study of national security. The essence of the transdisciplinary approach is analyzed as a modern scientific paradigm and an innovative strategy of scientific inquiry. It is demonstrated that the application of the transdisciplinary approach to the study of national security at the present stage of human development is driven by the need for a qualitatively new understanding of deep transformational processes occurring in all spheres of human social existence and in the evolving nature of security itself. The paper highlights the differences in studying complex, multilevel phenomena from disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary perspectives. It is emphasized that within the framework of the traditional paradigm, national security is usually examined only in terms of its separate aspects. However, the evolution of modern scientific knowledge proves that the traditional disciplinary model of cognition is ineffective for the analysis of complex, hybrid, and multilayered phenomena, such as national security. This necessitates new methodological approaches to the analysis and study of national security based on the integration of humanitarian, technical, natural, and social sciences into a unified system. The article examines the content and objectives of scientific inquiry into national security in accordance with the principles of the Charter of Transdisciplinarity. In the process of studying national security, it is essential to consider: the humanitarian dimension of national security and the principle of complementarity; the architectonics of national security as represented by various levels of reality; the recognition of intercultural dialogue; and the special role of education, culture, and religion. Attention is focused on the contemporary interpretation and classification of threats to national security. A comprehensive study of national security as a social phenomenon today is possible only with the recognition of the fundamental components of transdisciplinarity – rigor, tolerance, and openness.
Keywords: national security; threats; reality; transdisciplinarity; Charter of Transdisciplinarity; rigor; openness; tolerance.
