I believe that this is why Mcllwain said, "Roman was the beginning of modern theory", and tailor said, "Roman society is a fact of modern state".

笔者深信这也是麦考文称“罗马是现代理论的开始”以及泰勒称“罗马社会为现代国家的一个体现方面”的主要原因。

Founded on the dualization of nation and society, they tried to break away from the nation by way of the theory of state power and functions.

他们以国家与社会的二元化划分为理论基础，力图通过国家职能的二重化，最终一劳永逸地摆脱国家。

This new situation expands the theory of the state beyond state-market relations focused solely on the relations between state and society and governance.

国家的新处境扩展了国家理论的研究领域，使之不再局限于国家与市场的关系，而总是围绕着国家与社会的关系以及治理等问题展开。
