Tao of Security. A Study of Far-Eastern Security Culture Genesis
Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 22
Abstract
The work contains an analysis of security culture phenomenon from the perspective of Sun Tzu. The idea here is to build the entire universe and a placed-in man, as an area in which operate the impact from the energy of macrocosm. It is the same – corresponding to the body of the universe – with microcosm – the body of a human being immersed in the interaction energy of the endless universe. This concept, combining with the ideas of Confucianism and Buddhism, which here are not broadly discussed, has practical application for over two thousand years in the deliberations on the various areas of human activity. The principles of building and applying of strategies and tactics are to some extent determined by the rhythm of the endless universe cosmic energy – chi (qi). Prevention of risks in an effective way by competent governance in time of peace, and a skilful command in war, comes down to an agile mediation between “Heaven” and “Earth” to use the rhythm of cosmic harmony in the ranks of subordinates.<br/><br/>
