Article type Scientific
Annotation The article examines the relationship between the State and civil society. It is mentioned that T. Hobbs and his followers believed that in the natural, pre-state people experienced the “natural desire of evil to each other”, so the emergence of the state was a forced measure and implemented in the form of a social contract. According to the author of the article, this theory of Hobbs implicitly refers to contradictions between the interests of man and society, which in the time of Hobbs was identified with the state. The basis for the analysis of the relationship between the New Age civil society and the State throughout its existence is the dispute between T. Paine, who considered the State to be a necessary evil, and G. Hegel, who defended the need for full control of civil society by the State. The article describes three forms of relations between the state – subject and civil society – object: the state can act in relation to civil society as absolute dictator (“Leviaphan” in T. Hobbs theory), strict controller (in G. V. F. Hegel theory) or “caring but strict father” (in the practice of the socialist state and partly in modern Russia). The democratic form should be subject-subject relations in the form of dialogue or social partnership. According to the author of the article, the obstacle to equal partnership is the contradiction between the interests of the State, which should be defended by officials and their personal interests, which they cannot ignore in their State activities
