Abstract

After the modernist transformations that Western thought has known and thanks to which it moved from the ages of darkness to the lights of thought, Europe has defined modernity as a phenomenon or as a project that made it rethink all phenomena and relationships. These phenomena were characterized by a solid rigid concept, and by the transformations of modernity they became a liquid concept, and among these concepts The concept of fear and insecurity, hence the nature of this article focuses on the philosophy of social phenomena that, like others, were influenced by data on modernity and postmodernism. Therefore, its aim is to show the changes imposed by Western modernity on concepts, visions and relationships in thought and life, and that these concepts, which were characterized by rigidity and rigidity, have become necessary to change according to the new data of Western modernity, and among the most important results that we reached: Fear and insecurity are natural phenomena. The instinct in humans, however, has intensified in the time of modernity, imposed by globalization, scientific and technological development, the invention of nuclear and biological weapons, and the emergence of new wars that threaten man and all of humanity.
