Нова свобода в умовах нової реальності

Abstract

The contemporary educational process, like all other spheres that ensure the vitality of our country, is in an extremely complex situation. This complexity arises not only from military actions but also from the transitive reality in which we all find ourselves. The specific social reality resulting from ideological, political, economic, and educational changes indicates the need for a profound analysis of what is happening today and now. It is essential to analyze not only the present but, more importantly, past historical events to prevent future dreadful conflicts such as war, genocide, and cultural destruction. The purpose of this article is to investigate and analyze the problem of freedom and security in the conditions of war. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set: identify various research paths of the freedom and security problem, analyze these concepts, demonstrate the scope of application, use, and speculation with the concepts of freedom and security, especially during times of war. Methods. During the research, the methods of systemic-structural analysis and hermeneutics were employed. The hermeneutic method involved accumulating a substantial amount of material through the analysis of global and domestic informational, journalistic, and internet sources. This allowed for a comprehensive examination of the problem of freedom and security from different perspectives. As a result of the study, it was established that the problem of freedom and security in wartime arises in an extremely acute format. A nation experiencing war has the right to form its own criteria for choice. However, a conscious civic position needs to be shaped through educational and humanitarian programs at all levels, which will help form an independent, critical mindset, providing the ability to self-determine freely and be aware of the responsibility for decisions and actions. Conclusions. The problem of choice between freedom and security requires a deep, detailed analysis not only in contemporary conditions but also considering the post-war period of Ukraine's formation and development. After all, these problematic issues are fundamental principles of a democratic state.
