Abstract

By choosing the category of safety as a key category, and hence focusing on the philosophy of safety, a sub-discipline of philosophy, the article aims to signpost its focal role as a metaparadigm; the foundations of acutely significant considerations concerning safety. The aim expresses the author’s views concerning the growing significance of the category, which is reflected in increasingly frequent attempts to interpret it, undertaken by various disciplines. Attempts to exhaustingly define safety are however, similar to attempts to fully put it into life. Due to the variability of the conditions of human existence no detailed definition, or a state in which safety is felt, can be treated as permanent. Only a philosophical concept can provide a relatively stable and enduring framework, in which the category can be interpreted.
