The author of this paper shows his opinions on the security/insecurity sciences and security/insecurity theory as a follow-up of the ideas presented in the article „Metasecurity – a concept of intempestive geometry published in Annals Series on Military Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1/2017, moving on to a new theory. It is impossible to speak about a theory of security separated from a theory of insecurity (or non-security) as the issue here is a single antinomic phenomenon, known ever since antiquity as an aporia. The two opposing tendencies of the world (security and insecurity) and the fight between them resulting in their permanent reciprocal exclusion essentially represents the cause and engine of movement and development in the world, as the processual aspect of its development is always a conflicting one. This theory is actually a paradox, as it contains a contradiction between security and insecurity.
