Social security and philosophy

Abstract

Social security - the reaction of society to combat social disorder - is not only an important institution of all advanced societies, it became also a key topic of many academic disciplines: history, economics, sociology, law, political sciences, and especially of philosophy with its three main subjects,namely logic, theory of science, ethics. To analyse contemporary social security the three philosophical subjects are relevant, as one can nowadays easily ask himself/herself: can social security still be justified under the auspices of a liberal society, does social security restrict or constitute individual freedom. The article investigates possible philosophicalconsistency of answers to the following questions: Which role should the state play in society? Can social security be justified as a means to safeguard equality or social justice? What is the interrelation of social security and social rights? What does it mean to social security when nationalborders lose their relevance for framing the political and social order in future? Findings suggests that social policy will still remain a matter of state policy - however, no longer a romantic means to accomplish a peculiar ideology of nationhood, but as a means to foster liberty in an internationally open society, by utilising the means and the power of an internationally oriented and internationally minded national social policy.

Secondary abstract:	Socialno varstvo - reakcija družbe, da pomiri družbeni nered - ni le važna inštitucija vseh naprednih družb, ampak postaja tudi ključna tema mnogih akademskih disciplin: zgodovine, ekonomike, sociologije, prava, političnih vedin še zlasti filozofije, v njenih treh glavnih področjih, logiki, teoriji znanosti in etiki. Ta tri filozofska področja so pomembna za razčlembo sodobnega socialnega varstva, saj se dnevno sprašujemo, ali še lahko opravičujemo socialno varstvo z načeli liberalne družbe, ali socialno varstvo omejuje ali vzpostavlja individualno svobodo. Članek proučuje morebitno konsistentnost filozofskih odgovorov na naslednja vprašanja. Kakšno vlogo naj država igra v družbi? Naj socialno varstvo opravičujemo kot sredstvo za zagotavljanje enakosti ali kot sredstvo socialne pravičnosti? Kakšne so povezave med socialnim varstvom in socialnimi pravicami? Kakšne posledice za socialno varstvo ima dejstvo, da nacionalne meje očitno izgubljajo svoj pomen za oblikovanje političnega in družbenega reda? Odgovori nakazujejo, da bo socialno varstvo sicer še vedno ostalo zadeva državne politike - a ne več kot romantično sredstvo za doseganje ciljev čudaške nacionalne ideologije, ampak bolj kot sredstvo za pospeševanje svoboščin v mednarodno odprti družbi, z uporabo poti in moči mednarodno usmerjene in mednarodno osmišljene nacionalne socialne politike.
