====Limited applicability==== | ====Limited applicability==== | ||
Organic philosophers espoused | Organic philosophers espoused a concept referred to as the "''principle of limited applicability''". The principle states that most political ideas, power structures, or social concepts all have inherent value within an organic society, but can only be applied on a limited basis. This principle is based on the view that there is no single best way to govern a society that develops organically, since each society has different norms and history; since there are differences, however, an organic society can not universally apply a political principle or system and expect an outcome conducive to the common good. Organicists typically adopt flexible political views based on what is oriented towards the common good within a particular point in time. | ||
The best known use of the principle of limited applicability is that of heredity. [[Urcea|Urcean]] organicists, both historically and contemporaneously, believe that hereditary succession can be successfully used within society, both for the general inheritance of property and for the particular political system of monarchy. Organicists believe the former protects the principle of private property while the latter ensures political stability. These same organicists, however, oppose the concentration of wealth in small groups of individuals whose concentration is supported by heredity, particularly referring to the {{wp|feudalism|feudal}} system common in [[Levantia]] before the [[Great Confessional War]] because they infringe the ability to create systems ordered towards the common good. Organic philosophers also oppose the concentration of political power in small hereditary power groups, besides that of monarchy, for the same purpose. | The best known use of the principle of limited applicability is that of heredity.

=====Shared commonwealth===== | |||
Shared commonwealth is a political concept arising in [[Urcea]] related to the underpinnings of organic democratic thought. It essentially views participatory government as a guided institution which works for the general benefit of the entirety of society rather than for social majorities or minorities. Accordingly, the term is used to describe organic democracies inasmuch as it describes the "democracy on guard rails" approach which employs higher, non-elective institutions or uncodified, unchangeable moral laws. In its origin specifically, the term was devised as an alternative to "democracy", a term with negative connotations in Urcea. | |||
