    In the West, the word “modernus” first appeared in the fifth century A.D., means to distinguish modern society which has already converted to “Christianity” from Roman society which still belongs to “Paganism”. Therefore, the word modernus “consciously emphasizes the breakage between ancient and modern” in intention.

    The “citizen” and “civics” of this article have connotation of special meaning. Citizen refers to the people influenced by economic power in civil society, and civics refers to citizens gaining political rights when they enter into state territory.

    The so-called interior freedom is for common custom power. Because of church’s pressure and despotism, the interior freedom of Christian is often out of the question. See Hebert Muller, Freedom in the Western World: From the Dark Ages to Rise of Democracy, New York: Parper & Row, Publishers, 1963, p. 5. See Cong Riyun: Christian Binary Political View and Modern Liberalism, Tianjin Normal University[D], Edition of 2001, p. 17.

    Right is the most basic vocabulary in law. But, its division does not form conforming cognition. In general, people often use political rights, civic rights, social rights, autonomous rights and others to point those relative rights that civics participate in state administration; and use human rights, individual rights, natural rights, moral rights and others to point those basic rights guaranteeing individual freedom and safety, life, property and so on. This article basically uses political rights to point the republicanism tradition emphasizing on democratic rights and associated with Rousseau, and uses individual rights to point liberalism tradition emphasizing on natural rights and associated with Locke. However, seen from the whole article, making the Procrustean bed is hard to avoid acting in a Procrustean way, so this article uses two rights according to the context meaning.

    Grotius pointed out that: “Jus Naturale is the indication of the justice logos, which is based on whether the behavior is compatible with the reasonable nature, to conclude that it is moral meanness, or moral necessity.” Hugo Grotius, On the Law of War and Peace, translated by A.C.Campbell, A.M., Batoche books Kitchener, 2001, p. 9.

  44. 44.

    Hobbes pointed out that: “Something which is commonly referred to as Jus Naturale, is the freedom of everyone as he wishes, to use his power to preserve the freedom of his own nature, that is, to preserve the freedom of his own life.” Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, Beijing, China Cocial Science Publishing House, 1999, p. 99. Chinese translation refers to [Britain] Hobbes, Leviathan, translated by Li Sifu, Li Biyan, Commercial Press, Edition of 1985, p. 97, the reference text of this text has been slightly changed.

    [Britain] Hobbes, Leviathan, translated by Li Sifu, Li Biyan, Commercial Press, Edition of 1985, pp. 164–165. Thomas Hobbes, On the Citizen, edited by Richard Tuck and Michael Silverthorne, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, p. 142. Friedrich believed that on the characteristics of Hobbes’s economic freedom and political autocracy, his leviathan was more like Napoleon-style country rather than Hitler-style country. Carl J Friedrich The Philosophy of Law in Historical Perspective Chicago, 1963, p. 87. On this view, Bodenheimer also held similar view.

    Xu Datong Chief Editor: History of Western Political Thoughts, Tianjing Education Press, Edition of 2000, p. 153. In Civil Society and the Country-Theoretical Distinction and Two Structures, Deng Zhenglai thought that on the mode of civil society theory, “Paine is only the extreme of Locke, there is no meaning to divide; yet Hobbes mode because of its sovereignty theory and other views, this text holds that it is not representative.” This judgment clearly overlooked that Hobbes proposed the anti autocratic side of the economic freedom.

    Namely, the private affairs of the monarch were public affairs; the subjects’ (individuals’) private affairs were private affairs. However, according to viewpoints of Huang Zongxi and other people in the early Qing Dynasty, the overall interests of the subjects were interpreted as the public affairs which opposite to the private affairs of the monarch. However, this idea did not become the mainstream ideology of the ancient society.

In order to build the framework of modern political system; from the point of view of political individual, the separation of state and society not only stipulates the dual role of people as citizens and subjects, but also stipulates dual nature of people with human rights and civil rights. Others basic understandings such as relationship between political liberation and social liberation, social existence determines the political culture, all of which highlight the status of civil society theory in Marx's politics. Therefore, seizing the civil society is seizing the key of Marx's politics.

    “Copy” first appeared in the book Ancient Laws of Henry Maine. He pointed out: “I now use the law to draft this word to express, cover up or aim to cover up any change that the law has been changed, in fact, the law has not been changed, but its use has been changed”. Refer to [Britain] Maine: Ancient Laws, translated by Shen Jing, The Commercial Press, Edition of 1984, p. 15.

It is noted that the translation of the word “civil society” by domestic scholars is not consistent, and there are basically two kinds of usage of “citizen society” and “civil society”. However, there is no substantial difference between the two translations, and both are common in many cases. For example, Cong Riyun used the word “civil society” in another article to refer the same content. Yuan Baishun, Cong Riyun: Seventeenth Century Concept Analysis of Civil Society, Journal of Liaoning Normal University (Social Science Edition) 2001, No. 6, p. 109. The author of this article believes that, although the word “civil society” is more accepted by contemporary scholars, but for the fact of the rise of the modern western bourgeoism, the word “citizen society” be more in line with the original appearance. Nevertheless, I do not think that the two terms are essentially different.

    Bodin pointed out that for the representative of sovereignty “in this world there was nothing greater than sovereign monarchs except God, which were the representatives God established on earth for ordering other humans…” Jean Bodin, Six Books of the Commonwealth, vol 1, translated by M.J. Tooley Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1955, p. 40. Raymond G. Gettell, History of political thought, New York: Century, 1925, p. 84. Hobbes also used such appellation, and he indicated that “this was the birth of great Leviathan,—in a more respectful way, this was exactly the birth of live God” while he was discussing the cause, emergence and definition of state. Refer to [Britain] Thomas Hobbes: Leviathan, translated by Li Sifu and Li Tingbi, Commercial Press, Edition of 1985, p. 132. This article uses Hegel’s sayings, that Hegel pointed out that “god itself marches forward on the ground, and this is state” while he was discussing the concept of state. Refer to [Germany] Hegel: Principle of Law Philosophy, translated by Fan Yang and Zhang Qitai, Commercial Press, Edition of 1961, p. 259. But the translator used the translation of “god [God] itself marches forward on the ground”. Refer to [Germany] Hegel: Principle of Law Philosophy, translated by Fan Yang and Zhang Qitai, Commercial Press, Edition of 1961, p. 22. This article considers “God” is more suitable in Western language environment and adopts such translation. It is mentionable that the translation of Hegel’s such words even becomes a focus of theoretical research disputes in Hegel’s country. After Knox, W. Kaufmann and Charles Taylor thought this sentence excessively highlighted statism in Hegel’s state theory and should be mistranslated. Refer to Yu Jianxing: Criticism of Liberalism Theory and Re-establishment of Freedom TheoryHegel’s Political Philosophy and Its Influence, Academia Press, Edition of 2000, p. 189. Even so, dense statism element in Hegel’s state theory and his theoretical defenses for the rise of national state are unassailable.

    Locke Proposed, “Though in a constituted common-wealth, standing upon its own basis, and acting according to its own nature, that is, acting for the preservation of the community, there can be but one supreme power, which is the legislative, to which all the rest are and must be subordinate, yet the legislative being only a fiduciary power to act for certain ends, there remains still in the people a supreme power to remove or alter the legislative, when they find the legislative act contrary to the trust reposed in them.” See [UK] Locke: Two Treatises of Civil Government (Volume II), translated by Qu Junong and Ye Qifang, The Commercial Press, Edition of 1964, P91.
