Hegel's concept of civil society endorses a market economy and a liberal outlook. But his concept of state culminates in an authoritarian prince who is protector of the constitution. The tensions and contradictions that plague Hegel's liberal society that cannot be resolved by its own civil institutions, motivate his conservative authoritarianism.
The theories of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel are explored in this look at his conception of an ideal civil society. A conservative authoritarian, Hegel endorsed a market economy that was counterbalanced by an authoritarian prince who acted as protector of the constitution. Though these two concepts seem contradictory, the text suggests that Hegel purposefully contrasts freedom and authority in order to intensify their opposition to the highest degree. His prediction that opposite extremes will bring forth reconciliation makes this treatise the first full-blown modern liberal authoritarian manifesto.
