Features: This book employs the theoretical methodology of Marxism's "civil society" to analyze the binary separation of "state-society" as its starting point. With the relationship between democracy and the rule of law as its main thread, it examines the dual structure and inherent contradictions of modern Western political civilization from three levels: political institutions, political consciousness, and political behavior.
