Abstract

According to my conception, we can distinguish the four main spheres of modern human life: the spheres of private life, community life, social life, and coercive life. The modern state (or national) society is a heterogeneous society in which the main life spheres mentioned have been developed, and in which the sphere of social life is of fundamental importance. In this paper, the focus of inquiry is that the sphere of social life is also complex, from the point of view that it is differentiated into social sub-spheres. First, I point out the main conceptions regarding the differentiation of society into subsystems, fields, or spheres, especially Bourdieu’s field theory, and then I define the concept of social sub-sphere. After that, I distinguish the sphere of everyday social life on the one hand, and the sphere of political life on the other; and within the former sphere (or partly in the area of other life spheres) I make a distinction between further sub-spheres: the relatively pure social sub-sphere, the semi-social sub-sphere, and the mixed life sphere.
