Talking about the determining factors of human existence, one cannot touch upon another important problem. It is known that any social transformations often become possible within the framework of development processes, which, however, are sometimes understood ambiguously, since their adequate perception requires, as a rule, a certain «starting point» for reflection, capable of constituting thought based on the experience of past and present generations. and sometimes taking into account the forecasts of futurologists. But in any case, philosophers need to pay close attention to the processes of development of society, and to the starting point of this development, given that the person in his integrity is a product of a long historical development14. In connection with the foregoing, it is appropriate to recall the words of GF-V. Hegel, who asserted that the transformation that is carried out even on a cosmic scale at the level of some «universal processes» that take place within the framework of the universe, can be understood as the activity of a certain «World Spirit»15. However, the philosopher’s statement is quite possible to apply to the nature of those social transformations that are not excluded in the framework of the «collective creativity» of civilization and through the activation of the thinking of its individual members. In other words, any social transformation is not at all an isolated and local phenomenon – on the contrary, it is capable of fixing an integral picture of social transformations, and in the process of this fixation, the understanding of safety as a phenomenon of being acquires particular value. Broadly thinking, it is necessary to state the fact that the peculiarities of the construction of the scientific methodology of safety concepts have historically been distinguished by their extrapolation on non-existent things. However, even in this kind of research one can see the absolutization and axiologization of methodological premises of an irrational nature. Safety often means not the quality of being, but a characteristic of sustainable development, understood within the framework of ethnopolitical discourse, which without exaggeration is fundamental both in a certain «ethical field» of personal determinants, in relation to answering challenges of existential questions, and on an ethical level. At the same time, despite the rather diverse views on the subject of historical development as a whole and on the degree of individual human inclusion in it, it seems obvious that both social transformations and the construction of a safety concept within various social groups are aimed at ontological transformation of thinking and human behavior according to a given understanding of the meaning of life. As for critical judgments regarding the resistance of science and technology to the true understanding of being, they are actualized mainly through the mythological understanding of the latter, while neither science nor technology are constructs of thought and constructs of material culture that would essentially influence the understanding of ontology or anthropology, but influence only through its embodied synthesis with the mythological form of thinking. Thus, the concept of safety is now becoming not only a determinant of human existence, but also being transformed into an extremely complete and centered structure of his thinking and behavior, which contain the most «refined» information sequences of logical theses and conclusions, that are of deeply scientific and philosophical value in their isolation.
