POLISH AND UKRAINIAN PERCEPTION OF SECURITY SCIENCES (PART II)

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to familiarise the reader with a cognitive perspective and subject of interest of security sciences in Polish and Ukrainian terms. Security as a social phenomenon is perceived in a similar way all over the world, however its scientific interpretation depends on the formal structure of science in a given country and the classification of the research subject into a specific discipline. In the Polish terms, the scientific discipline of security sciences is specified, however in other countries the scope of security cognition is classified differently due to different conditions for the development and classification of science. In the Ukrainian terms, the discipline of security sciences is not specified and security problems are considered interdisciplinary in several fields of science, specialty groups and numerous scientific specialties. In the process of developing the article, an assumption was made to explain the problem: how are the scientific disciplines in Poland and Ukraine that conduct research on security interpreted? As a result of applying the method of researching the content of the subject literature and the continuous comparison of the perception of security from the point of classification of scientific fields in the Polish and Ukrainian terms, the similarities and differences were specified, which constitute the essence of the cognitive scope of security. This article has a review character relating to the comparison of the cognitive foundations of security in Polish and Ukrainian terms, and was written as a result of the authors’ scientific cooperation during a reflected research internship at the Lviv State University of Life Safety in 2021. The article is divided into two parts. Part one includes: “Abstract”, “Introduction”, “Research assumptions”, “Comparison of conditions of science evolution in Poland and Ukraine”, “Security science in the Polish perspective”. The second part includes: “Security science in the Ukrainian perspective”, “Comparison”, “Conclusion” and “Bibliography”
