Synergy of Defense Science Philosophy and Morals in Improving Basic National Defense Skills

Abstract

The philosophy of defense science and morality are the primary foundations for developing knowledge and understanding of the world. This article explores the philosophy of defense science and morality as essential foundations for strengthening national defense capabilities. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, it explains how the philosophy of defense science provides a systematic and scientific framework for developing effective national defense strategies. At the same time, morality plays a vital role by offering ethical guidance in defense policies, particularly in the proportional and responsible use of military and security forces. The study highlights the importance of justice, truth, and respect for human rights in national defense decision-making. Furthermore, integrating national defense concepts into formal education enhances technological understanding while instilling moral values from an early age, fostering collective awareness and active public participation in maintaining state sovereignty and sustainability.
