The research methods used are modern general and special methods of scientific research, including, in particular: analysis was used to process scientific and analytical sources; inductive and deductive - to analyze and summarize information on the subject of the study; forecasting and synthesis methods were used to formulate conclusions and recommendations based on the results of the study.

Results. It is noted that the forms of associations that make up the structure of civil society and characterize the diversity of its social practices reflect the broadest palette of economic, legal, family, cultural and other needs and interests of people (social groups), are created exclusively with the aim of satisfying or fulfilling their diverse interests. It is justified that the goal of civil society is to achieve freedom as a condition and way of self-existence of a person as an active and full member of the community. It turned out that the result of the functioning of civil society is, on the one hand, the development and complication of various social relations and ties (economic, social, spiritual and cultural, information, political and legal, etc.), and on the other hand, the improvement of a person himself, becoming him equal and responsible participant in this society, the development of creative and professional potential of the person.

Conclusions. It has been established that civil society has its core institutions, the task of which is to maintain and daily clarify the boundaries of civil society with the state through the expansion of social equality and freedom, restructuring and democratization of state institutions. It is determined that the conditions for the functioning of civil society are publicity and the associated wide awareness of citizens, the existence of constitutional guarantees for its existence and the development of relevant legislation. Civil society is considered as a natural space of social interaction, as a free, democratic, pluralistic, legal society, the purpose and center of which is a person (personality) with his private interests and aspirations, a system of relations in which human rights are the highest value.
