Taking the epistemological approach of the school of realism, the author focused on presenting the mechanisms and regularities that underlie the great social, economic and political processes closely related to the security of social systems (collective associations). This research problem has been developed in an interesting way in epistemological research in the science of civilizations and social cybernetics, and on their basis mainly the foundations of a certain version of the philosophical knowledge about security are implied. It should be particularly emphasized that the indicated knowledge is a collection of information of high socio-steering value. In other words, it is about the importance of the value of information that influences social activity and, more importantly, allows you to make the right choice of action and its effectiveness.
