ONTOLOGICAL SECURITY AND PERSONAL STABILITY: CONTINUITY OF SELF, SOCIAL TRUST, AND LIFE INTEGRITY UNDER UNCERTAINTY

Ontological security is interpreted not as personal immutability but as the capacity to maintain and reconstruct selfhood under uncertainty. The article analyses biographical continuity, everyday routines, social trust, and institutional predictability. Its theoretical design combines dialectical, narrative, phenomenological, and normative methods. A "continuity, trust, reflexivity" cycle is proposed to distinguish personal stability from rigid sameness.
