Resumen
We understand civil society as a form, or rather, as a variety of forms, of social organization that contrast with government-imposed organization. We need some such marker for conceptually separating communities from the states that provide communities with governance. Loren Lomasky defines civil society as "the realm of voluntary association that stands between individuals (and perhaps their families) and the state."
