Civil society is a pluralistic, difficult structured, self-developing system, which influences all the spheres of society. Individuals realize their interests being a part of the civil society. The main idea of the civil society is an establishment of individual person’s freedom. The research is dedicated to the Hegel conception of the civil society and the modern understanding of it. G.W.F. Hegel in his definition of civil society presented a model that became the basis for many theories explaining the essence of civil society. Civil society is a differentia existing between a family and a state, though civil society development comes later than state development. In civil society every individual appears as a goal. However, Hegel emphasized that without relations with other individuals people cannot entirely achieve their goals. It is stated that this particular goal of relating to others gives itself a universal form and satisfies itself, satisfying with that aspiration of others for the welfare. Civil society, according to Hegel, can be created only in a modern world. In this case European bourgeois society is meant. Correspondingly, Hegel suggests the presence of a developed state as a basis. In the framework of civil society, special emphasis is put on the interconnection between economic, political and social spheres, and their dialectical connection with the state. However, in a civil society concept, according to Hegel, the true freedom of citizens is not yet assumed. Hegel presents the essence of civil society in the following three aspects: 

1) Indirectly the needs and satisfaction of particular needs by means of labor and by means of labor and satisfying all the others, the system of needs; 

2) Presence of freedom, property protection contained in a universal by means of justice; 

3) Concern for chance prevention being present in these systems and attention to special interest as general with the help of police and corporations. 

  By means of this triad Hegel emphasizes the role of individuals’ labor, well-functioning justice system, coordinated work of police and corporations. So, Hegel made a very important remark concerning civil society, singling it out from the sphere of state, marking the dialectical connection between different spheres and presenting a family and a separate individual in particular as an independent structural unit. 

 Modern civil society is based on economic, political, legal, sociocultural, ideological basis, stipulating a definite freedom of citizens. So, economic freedom is defined by private property integrity. The necessity of civil society is connected with the fact that a society can develop sustainably if its elements are structurally organized both vertically and horizontally, when the state and the civil basis are robust. In political and legal spheres civil freedom is expressed in political pluralism, legislation based on the principles of democracy, humanism and justice, securing and guaranteeing rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen; in the possibility to rule the state by means of membership in public unions, political organizations, organizations with minor political aspect such as trade unions, societies (hobby groups).
