TYPES OF MAN-CAUSED SITUATIONS IN SOCIAL AND PHYLOSOPHICAL CONTEXT

Abstract

The paper is devoted to social and philosophical
understanding of man-caused situations. The author pays
attention to unilateral character of the existing and used in
different spheres of knowledge classifications of emergency
man-caused situations. It often occurs that such classifications
violate the rule of common ground and present themselves
just lists of abnormal deviations. The transition from
classification to typology will make it possible to look at mancaused
situations as integrity, which stimulates detecting the
interaction as normal and abnormal man-caused situations.
On the basis of the suggested typology a measuring
technique has been developed to identify the index of danger
and compare different kinds of man-caused situations
