Abstract
Based on the conducted research, the article proposes and substantiates an innovative thesis about the possibility and need to consider and utilize the phenomenon of happiness as an independent factor of strengthening the national security of modern Russia. Such an interpretation is based on the analysis of the influence of other (positive and negative) factors on its development, consideration of the theoretical foundations of the institution of national security and its priorities, and the results of foreign and Russian research on security and happiness indicating not only the contradictions between them but also the deep reasons that unite them in nature. In practice, improving the quality of security in all areas is associated with the mandatory transition of activities ensuring it to the controlled positive development of the entire system and each of its elements and the creation of conditions for the satisfaction of the human need for happiness in any threatening conditions of the internal and external life. Such a perspective is considered in the context of the relevance and peculiarities of the felicitous approach to understanding and achieving the strategic role, goals, and applied objectives of the Russian state in the form of higher education. Meanwhile, education itself is viewed not only as an instrument of state policy but also as an effective area for its modernization synchronized with the demand for human development as a measure of true happiness and the security of society and the state. In this context, special attention is given to students as the subjects and objects of the problems of meeting the need for happiness and security. The article discloses the features of the existing and promising pedagogical conditions and models for the implementation of the felicitous approach allowing graduates to become potential carriers of harmonization of activities of a citizen, society, and state institutions in the interests of national security.
Highlights
Analysis of a wide range of Russian and foreign research on social security of people shows that it is contingent on numerous conditions and factors and is relevant as a scientific problem to the same degree as the issues of ensuring the security of humanity and the forms of its existence [1: 8–12]
The current federal and departmental normative legal documents that constitute the issues of legal rights and interests of a person and a citizen and the national interests and national security of the Russian Federation still lack the definition of “happiness”, as well as the related and derivative concepts widely used in the indicated studies (“right to happiness”, “economics, politics, pedagogy of happiness”, “the felicitous factor of its security”) [7: 15]
As a complex subject-subjectobject formation, happiness serves as a human reference point in the search, verification, and acquisition of the meaning of life
Summary
Analysis of a wide range of Russian and foreign research on social security of people shows that it is contingent on numerous conditions and factors and is relevant as a scientific problem to the same degree as the issues of ensuring the security of humanity and the forms of its existence [1: 8–12]. The aforementioned factors demonstrate the increasing relevance of shifting the attention of the scientific community, as well as of the very subjects of these problems, to the additional horizons and “verticals” of knowledge and activity in the search for interaction in the sphere of ensuring the social security of Russia. Research and the indicated legal documents identify the content of national interests of the state and the main directions of activity of an individual, society, and the state as the conditions for following this priority and the requirements for the methodology and priority methods of further scientific support for the demand to improve national security as a system [4]
