摘要：Civil society plays a central role in a rational reconstruction of the modern European State, such as Hegel’s Philosophy of Right. Antinomies and mediations (that take place between particularity and universality, subjectivity and objectivity, freedom and necessity; but also, between needs and recognition, culture and alienation, division of labour and eticity) develop through civil society –the outer State–, and are not cancelled in the inner organization of the rational State. This article explores the scissions and contingencies that cross the system of needs of civil society, and render possible the differentiation and opening of the social.
