The article briefly highlights the life path and scientific heritage of Vlas Platonovich Zhukov (1921– 1991), Doctor of Philology, Professor, Honoured Scientist of the RSFSR, one of the leading phraseologists in Russia. The constructive pillars of the scholar’s concept consisted in two oppositions: 1) a phraseological unit and a word 2) a word and a component of a phraseological unit. In line with this direction and using the method of phraseological application, a whole complex of fundamental problems can be solved: the originality of the phraseological meaning in comparison with the lexical meaning, the sign properties of the components, the typology of accompanying words, the differentiation of synonymy and variance of phraseological units, the role of evaluativity in the formation of the semantics of a phraseological unit and its categorical properties, etc. The author’s main theoretical provisions were successfully implemented in his textbooks, teaching aids and dictionaries.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the security philosophy formation, the central concept of which is security, differently understood by different philosophical directions. The purpose of the study is the need to analyze the process of the security concept formation in the history of Western philosophy. To achieve the goal, a comparative analysis methodology was applied based on a cultural-historical approach associated with the procedures for analyzing philosophical texts on security issues. The novelty of the research is provided by the analysis of the evolution of ideas about security as a concept, the structure of which has expanded, gradually including the sphere of not only real, material, but also imaginable, spiritual security. The authors note that for a long time it was customary to talk about the phenomenon of security only in the aspect of substantiating the reasons for the unification of the population within the boundaries of state formations. However, under the influence of Christian ideology, security began to be understood as a person’s inner experience of his spiritual state. At the same time, the actualization of the concept of “unity” within the framework of the national states of the New Age led to the development of the idea of national security, the accumulation of knowledge about which served as the beginning of a wide range of ideas about economic, cultural, legal and personal security formation. Now security has been understood as a system of measures within which definitions of protection and preservation, the state and the local group, material goods and spiritual interests, real and imaginary danger are divided
