Da função da sociedade civil em Hegel y Habermas.

This article seeks to present the function that civil society fulfills in Hegel and Habermas. In this paper, civil society is characterized summarily, tending to the view of determining its functions. In Hegel, civil society is related to the production of wealth and fulfills an organizing and educational function. In Habermas, it is not related to the economics, since it is constituted by the public sphere whose function is to produce democratically legitimized contents that ought to determine the purposes of the State in terms of a system committed to realizing its purposes.
