Abstract
Hegel’s political philosophy was, as a whole, the political philosophy of German Idealism and as such, critical if not hostile to the idea of democracy. However, despite its more radical theoretical positions against this idea, his concept of “civil society”, as is set forth in The Principles of the Philosophy of Law (1821) can be seen in essence, in his concept, as an attempt to substantiate the conditions under which that society could, in actuality, correspond to the concept of a “modern” society. One of those conditions is found in the recognition experience Hegel understood from the perspective of a full realization of the interests and aims that constitute the particularity of the individual. He/she accesses the sphere of rights and freedoms (freedom in an “external” form) that modern society is required to ensure to all its members.
