Paradygmatyczne punkty widzenia nauk o bezpieczeństwie

Kuhn’s concept of paradigm refers to the distinction between mature and pre-paradigmatic science. Different approaches may compete in the latter stage. In security sciences, there is a discussion on the search for paradigms, which can mean a consensus of views within one discipline or contradictory assumptions. The discussion is a consequence of the evolution of this relatively recently emerged discipline and leads to the definition of its specificity. The paper presents various approaches to the paradigm proposed by representatives of security research in the broad sense of the term, which lead to a multi-paradigm shift. The research problem is an attempt to answer the question whether the presented points of view are the basis for formulating coherent assumptions of paradigms on the grounds of safety sciences and which scientists propose paradigms in this scientific discipline. Establishing one common approach as the most effective one will mean that a paradigm of safety science will emerge. Finally, the concept of personal security was proposed in terms of the system paradigm.
