View source for Livism

'''Livism''' (also spelt '''Livvism''') is the ideology represented by the politics of [[Shirerithian]] stateswoman and Imperial Mother [[Liv Dravot]] (1615–1663). It is closely related to [[Nationalist and Humanist Party|national humanism]] and [[shire:Khanism|Khanism]] though is often seen as a more radical and pure form, in terms of ethics, of these two. In Livism, a strict consequentialist ethic is followed, contrasted to the more pragmatic nature and deontological ethics of national humanism. As such, Livism teaches that if the moral (good) outcome of an intended action is greater than the harm it causes, it is the moral imperative to perform that action. 

It was through Livism, academics argue, rather than national humanism, that the [[Auspicious Occasion]] came to fruition, and the [[Froyalanish genocide|Froyalanish exodus]] was organised. Livism, not national humanism, influenced the new feudalism of post–Auspicious Occasion Shireroth where a strict hierarchy of people (nobles, denizens, loyal subjects, community servants, protected persons) was established in order to uphold stability and the maximization of happiness among all people in Shireroth. This Livist feudalism is today, however, only still applied in Shireroth and Sathrati, and the more conservative national humanism has taken over the politics in the Unified Governorates and Elwynn.
