Summary/Abstract: The presented article shows the problem of acquiring a sense of security in philosophy of the Czech thinker T. Halik. This is a complex issue because T. Halik is opposed to the standard perception of this problem. For him, security is not a state of no threat, but a conscious and courageous face to face difficulties. Being vigilant and open to transcendental requires sacrifice, but it brings fruit in the form of gradually finding the fullness of life. Authentic life is present in a conscious, but also open to transcendence way of existence, which brings Halik closer to philosophers seeking human depth. The main advantage of the article is the presentation of the discussed problem in a comprehensive approach, which takes into account the theological, philosophical and psychological dimensions. The author of the article also refers to those thinkers who inspired T. Halik. These include Józef Tischner, Emmanuel Levinas, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Buber and Zygmunt Freud.
