A Study of the Relationship and Distinction between Civil Society and the State, and Hows of the Formation of the Public will in Hegel's Political Philosophy

In this article, after the author theoretically studies social-political events, and how to develop the theory of civil society, he goes on to understand and study the development of public will in civil society and the state and the dialectic between them in Hegel's political thought. Hegel was the first philosopher in the history of philosophy to consciously place a strategic position on civil society. And through the three basic elements, namely the legal system, the police, and the guilds and unions, as well as by examining the classes, all of which are in the service of civil society for the first time, it takes steps to form a partial will to form the public will. And through the theory of institutions, not only can he achieve the objectification of the abstract human will, but he also achieves the first stage of a unique general explanation. Here Hegel steps into government. Upon entering the public sector, Hegel quickly distinguished the field on the three principles of the organic matter versus the mechanical matter, the public interest over the personal interest, and finally the general precedence over a part of civil society. Consequently, with the precedence of the state over civil society in its own sense, it considers the public will to be the truth of the partial will, morality, and moral life.
