Summary/Abstract: It seems that the new world order is collapsing and international security is not what it once was, because humanity has become concerned with subjective security. That is why we propose to define a new concept of security - objective security - based on the realization of security awareness. For the foundation of the science of security and objective security, the stages explained by Hegel must be completed: the stage of consciousness and reason of security, the stage of spirit in which reason is transformed into spirit, and the stage of the objectification of security. The phenomenology of security is the description of the objective forms in which the science of security appears, of the process of knowing insecurity/security and the disclosure of errors. The scientific research methodology of insecurity/security is based on the assumption that "the truth is the whole" and the phenomena of insecurity/security always become something else. That is why the phenomenon of (in)security must be analyzed as a historical phenomenon with respect to data and facts, and the knowledge of (in)security is a process in which the method of dialectical research proposed by Hegel is used (the method of the philosophy of security is dialectic because the method is the structure of the whole).
