Organicism became a distinct movement in the 18th century, when it became popular among [[Occidental]] philosophers and economists as a position contra {{wp|social contract theory}}. Organicism sought to reform the norms of hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, the divine right of kings and traditional conservatism into more inclusive systems without creating a definitive rupture. Organicists reject both absolutism and the social contract, and consequently spent much of the 18th and early 19th centuries opposed by both liberals and absolutists. Organicist criticism of absolutism specifically came from the perspective of restoration or defense of traditional, inclusive forms of society, such as local communes and the paternal obligation of Monarchy. Organicism also proposed its own view of history and society, eschewing {{wp|whig history}} in favor of continuity thesis and other similar ideas. | Organicism became a distinct movement in the 18th century, when it became popular among [[Occidental]] philosophers and economists as a position contra {{wp|social contract theory}}.
