Abstract
The article delineates the historical reconstruction of the evolution of the institute «civil society» in the European culture on the basis of the revelation of its philosophical ideal types. The author explicates the normative sense of the notion «civil society» and marks the «borders»; reveals the models of different civil societies by means of the fixation of specific inherent features of different countries and nations; describes the nature of the functioning of the institute «civil society» in structural, historical and cultural contexts. Civil society might be considered: firstly, as self-organization and self-evolution of individual interests. Secondly, as a guarantee of legal state. Thirdly, as a buffer of democratic processes. Fourthly, as an institute of glasnost (publicity), openness, axiological and political pluralism. The democratic values are fulfilled in specific ways in different countries - taking into account a history of customs, a hierarchy of value priorities, a level of social and economic development. And every nation should choose, produce the correspondent forms and mechanisms of political self-organization, relying on national and historic traditions. The conceptual and methodological basis of this article is constructed by means of the articles of the Doctor of Philosophical Sciences Antonina Kolodiy, the Head of the Department of Political Sciences and Philosophy of the Lvov Regional Institute of the State Government, the National Academy of the President of Ukraine.
