The relevance of this study is underscored by the urgent need to understand how traditional and non-traditional security threats - ranging from military conflicts to cybercrime and climate change - impact societal structures and individual freedoms. The paper highlights the intersection of social structures and security, revealing how security is instrumentalised by various actors, including governments, to control or influence social dynamics. Moreover, it emphasizes how media representation and public fear can influence political decision-making, urging a critical examination of how security discourses are constructed and whose interests they serve. By integrating socio-philosophical perspectives, this paper establishes a framework for understanding security as a multifaceted phenomenon. Notably, this research underscores the role of cultural, psychological, and ethical dimensions in shaping public understanding and policy responses to security threats. Key findings illustrate that contemporary security cannot be narrowly defined; rather, it necessitates an integrated approach encompassing political, economic, social, and environmental considerations and a re-evaluation of traditional security models to address contemporary challenges such as cybersecurity threats and digital ethics. Ultimately, this work argues for highlighting the necessity of interdisciplinary approaches in developing contemporary security strategies effectively addressing fluctuating dynamics of the international agenda.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Исследование посвящено социально-философским аспектам безопасности, оценке ее метафизических и экзистенциальных аспектов и рассмотрению того, как экзистенциальные угрозы меняют философские взгляды в современном обществе. Актуальность данного исследования подчеркивается насущной необходимостью понять, как традиционные и нетрадиционные угрозы безопасности - от военных конфликтов до киберпреступности и изменения климата - влияют на общественные структуры и индивидуальные свободы. Статья подчеркивает пересечение социальных структур и безопасности, показывая, как безопасность используется различными акторами, включая правительства, для контроля или влияния на социальную динамику. Более того, в статье подчеркивается, как репрезентация СМИ и общественный страх могут влиять на принятие политических решений, призывая к критическому изучению того, как конструируются дискурсы безопасности и чьим интересам они служат. Интегрируя социально-философские перспективы, данная работа создает основу для понимания безопасности как многогранного явления. Примечательно, что данное исследование подчеркивает роль культурных, психологических и этических аспектов в формировании общественного понимания и политических реакций на угрозы безопасности. Основные выводы показывают, что современная безопасность не может быть определена узко; скорее, она требует комплексного подхода, охватывающего политические, экономические, социальные и экологические соображения, а также переоценки традиционных моделей безопасности для решения современных проблем, таких как угрозы кибербезопасности и цифровая этика. В конечном счете данная работа доказывает необходимость междисциплинарных подходов к разработке современных стратегий безопасности, эффективно реагирующих на изменчивую динамику международной повестки дня.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>societal security</kwd><kwd>identity</kwd><kwd>social justice</kwd><kwd>inequality</kwd><kwd>cultural differences</kwd><kwd>digital ethics</kwd><kwd>environmental security</kwd><kwd>Hobbes’ trap</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>общественная безопасность</kwd><kwd>идентичность</kwd><kwd>социетальная справедливость</kwd><kwd>неравенство</kwd><kwd>культурные различия</kwd><kwd>цифровая этика</kwd><kwd>экологическая безопасность</kwd><kwd>ловушка Гоббса</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Hobbes T.
