Summary/Abstract: The discussion about numerous problems of Security Studies, holistically also relates to evolvement of Safety Science, and problems stemming from various global factors, and technological advancement of scientific background. Unfortunately, very often it communicates the fragmentary vision of the new and important multi‑dimensional treatment of this relatively new academic endeavor. The author of this essay relates some of the noticeable problems, and multiplicity of factors found in both, Security Studies and Safety Sciences, to lack of explanation of what common denominator is applicable to both of those categories. The author’s arguments rest on the unitary vision of science. Security and safety, however, are still very of the treated as the sub‑branches of other disciplines, such as international relations for example, or natural and applied sciences. The main premises presented here rest mainly on observation of the studies about security and safety considered as hybrid sciences of multi‑component issues. Respective of both, this calls for a need of acceptance of common philosophical grounds enabling this hybridity to turn into unitary, yet mulit‑dimensional vision of experts under rational goals searching for an independent, and holistic research platform able to observe problems of security and safety, under one scope of rationality.
