英英释义

The term \'civil society\' goes back to Aristotle\'s phrase koinōnía politikḗ (κοινωνία πολιτική), occurring in his Politics where it refers to a ‘community’, commensurate with the Greek city-state (polis) characterized by a shared set of norms and ethos, in which free citizens on an equal footing lived under the rule of law. The ‘telos’ or end of civil society, thus defined, was common wellbeing (tò eu zēn: τὸ εὖ ζῆν), in as man was defined as a ‘political (social) animal’ (zōon politikón:ζῷον πολιτικόν ).
