Human safety perceived as a value is rarely discussed from an axiological and ethical perspective, remaining a rather peripheral subject of ethical and academic reflexion. Presently, in a reality of constant anxiety, it is worth rethinking the fact that safety as a value should find an appropriate place in serious anthropological, philosophical, axiological, and ethical reflexion as well as in the contemporary deliberations on culture and civilisation. One significant issue deserves special emphasis in the context, i.e. that any actions taken with a view to safeguarding individuals or entire communities cannot endanger other fundamental and indispensable human needs and values.
