Both security sciences and security studies have traditionally mainly focused on the state as the most important security subject; however, as anthropology of security and the idea of human security assert, it is the security of a human individual that should be highlighted as well. The authors start from discussing the typologies of threat and security. This leads them to focusing on the idea of human security, a concept first proposed by researchers and then taken up by international organizations. The concept of human security, combined with anthropology of security, constitutes a scientific basis for the shift from the state-centric to the anthropocentric approach to security. The authors corroborate this stance by discussing a range of definitions of the concept of security, which focus on either more general or more specific aspects of security. They favour the more universal understanding of the concept and conclude that security, being the same type of anthropological social construct as other humane values such as beauty, happiness, love, etc., and a phenomenon relating to a great extent to the quality of human existence, should possess its universal essence.

Całkowite bezpieczeństwo człowieka jest wyjątkowym stanem, ponieważ w dalszym ciągu dzielimy z innymi gatunkami podstawowe cechy ukształtowane w ciągu historii naturalnej. Wyjątkowość ludzkości wynika jednak z tworzenia przez nią szeroko rozumianej kultury. Powstający nurt antropologii bezpieczeństwa, ma związki z badaniami nad kulturą przez antropologię fizyczną, filozoficzną czy religijną, ale głównie jest on związany z antropologią społeczno-kulturową, co implikuje potrzebę włączenia w nią elementów kulturoznawczych. Odnosząc się z kolei do filozoficznych podstaw kwestii dotyczących bezpieczeństwa, antropolog bezpieczeństwa powinien koncentrować się na antropologicznych i kulturoznawczych aspektach dążeń ukierunkowanych na uzyskiwanie stanu wolności od zagrożeń. Tym samym obszarem badań dla antroposekuritologicznego nurtu nauki, który może być interpretowany jako subdyscyplina nauk o bezpieczeństwie, jest de facto całe spektrum elementów kultury bezpieczeństwa. Kultura bezpieczeństwa stanowi zjawisko występujące w całym obszarze ogromnego dorobku kultury ludzkiej, towarzyszące rozwojowi człowieka od zarania jego dziejów bez względu na to, czy w danym kontekście kulturowo-czasowo-przestrzennym ma tego świadomość, czy też kreuje to zjawisko i jego funkcjonowanie w sposób intencjonalny.

The uniqueness of the humankind as compared to other species living on Earth stems not only from numerous evolutionary conditions, both physical and psychological, but also from the fact that humankind creates broadly understood culture. The fact that anthropology of security shows some connections with culture studies implies that it should incorporate elements related to these studies. An anthropologist of security should mainly focus on the anthropological and cultural aspects of the pursuit of freedom from threats. The same premises of this research field is occupied by security culture. Moreover, anthropology of security is situated at the intersection of two disciplines: anthropology and security sciences. The authors present the dependencies and consequences that the aforementioned facts bring to research on anthropology of security.
