distinguish Moral universalism About moral absolutism as a theory of normative ethics moral absolutism as a theory of meta ethics Moral universalism Moral absolutism is an ethical view that certain actions are absolutely right or wrong, regardless of other contexts such as their consequences or the intentions behind them. Thus stealing, for instance, might be considered to be always immoral, even if done to promote some other good e.g., stealing food to feed a starving family , and even if it does in the end promote such a good. Moral absolutism stands in contrast to other categories of normative ethics normative ethical theories such as consequentialism , which holds that the morality in the wide sense of an act depends on the consequences or the context of the act. Moral absolutism is not the same as moral universalism also called moral objectivism . Universalism holds merely that what is right or wrong is independent of custom or opinion as opposed to moral relativism relativism , but not necessarily that what is right or wrong is independent of context or consequences as in absolutism .

Philosophy sidebar Graded absolutism is a theory of moral absolutism which resolves the objection to absolutism that in moral conflicts we are obligated to opposites.

Graded absolutism is moral absolutism but qualifies that a moral absolute, like Do not kill, can be greater or lesser than another moral absolute, like Do not lie . Graded absolutism, also called contextual absolutism or the greater good view, is an alternative to the third alternative view and the Lesser of two evils principle lesser evil view , both discussed below, regarding moral conflict resolution. citation needed date January 2012 According to graded absolutism, in Ethical dilemma moral conflicts , the dilemma is not that we are obligated to opposites, because greater absolutes are not opposites of lesser absolutes, and evil is not the opposite of good but is instead the privation of good. Since evil is the privation of good, only the privation of the greater good counts as evil, since whenever there is a moral conflict, we are only obligated to the greater good. The real dilemma is that we cannot perform both conflicting absolutes ... is greater does not depend on the context. That is why graded absolutism is also called contextual absolutism but is not to be confused with situational ethics . The conflict is resolved in acting according to the greater absolute. That is why graded absolutism is also called the greater good ... and defeats itself in obligating evil. The greater good view Graded absolutism, or the greater ... 1989 ISBN 9780801038324.

All in the Family Absolutism, Revolution, and Democracy in the Middle Eastern Monarchies is a book by Michael Herb published in 1999. The book s central thesis is that Arab monarchies continue to be stable because numerous members of the royal family are given important positions in the government bureaucracy. ref http books.google.com books?hl en&id GFdEMIkSfwEC&dq all in the family herb&printsec frontcover&source web&ots MeuGwL1lUS&sig WC8fpCULt2EGGJEBOEU ZSODOk&sa X&oi book result&resnum 1&ct result ref Resilience of Arab Monarchies According to Herb, in 1900 most countries of the world were controlled by monarchs, but by 1999 there existed only a few outside the eight monarchies of the Arab world. Herb argues that the these Arab monarchies have persevered not because of oil money Rentier state rentierism or the lack of the a middle class, but because of their dynastic monarchy structure. Dynastic Monarchy Theory According to Herb, in 1938 the ruling Al Sabah family of Kuwait created a new form of government for the Persian Gulf. In that year, the Al Sabah threw the merchants out of the Kuwaiti bureaucracy and replaced them with members of the royal family. The other Persian Gulf monarchies followed suit. In these type of regimes, which Herb calls dynastic monarchies, the King or Emir typically installs members of the royal family as Prime Minister, Minister of the Interior, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Defense. These and other positions in the bureaucracy are used by the monarch as consolation prize bargaining chips to dole out to dissatisfied member of the royal family as a means of building consensus. As a result, these dynastic monarchies are much more stable than monarchies in which the monarch excludes the rest of the royal family from power. Rejection of Rentier State as Main Cause The Rentier state rentier state theory is that states in which the government controls vast wealth and does not need to control taxes are likely to be autocratic ... more details

Image Stemann.jpg thumb right Poul Christian von Stemann Poul Christian von Stemann April 14, 1764 &ndash November 25, 1855 was a Danish state official and leading minister 1827 1848. Stemann belonged to an old civil service family of German origin that has created many Danish local officials. As a young man he was relatively liberal, later becoming a deep conservative. As the son of a supporter of Ove H egh Guldberg , his early state career was hampered for political reasons. Instead, he made himself a career in the Supreme Court besides establishing himself as a squire. Between 1798 and 1827, he was amtman prefect of Sor and showed himself a very industrious, masterful and active local official who attracted the attention of King Frederick VI . In 1827, Stemann was appointed President of Danish Chancellery Home Office and Minister of Juridical Affairs and from then he was for twenty years the last prime minister of Danish absolutism though not officially presiding in the State Council until 1842 . His work fell in an age of growing opposition and reform demands of which he like his royal employer clearly disapproved. He reluctantly accepted the creation of Assemblies of Estates in the 1830s, but tried to limit their influence as much as possible, counteracting the moderate conservative wing of the government as well as concessions to the liberal opposition. To the latter Stemann stood as the reactionary, an unimaginative and authoritarian bureaucrat himself. Later historians have varied this verdict but on the whole he is still regarded as a very traditional representative of the non enlightened absolutism regarding the squires as the foundation of the state. He was also an enemy of the Schleswig Holstein movement but it is still discussed whether this was due to his national feelings or to his disapproval of all opposition. During the reign of Christian VIII , Stemann continued in office but with less influence. At the fall of absolutism in March 1848, he was di ... more details

The Democracy Reader. IDEA. 2002. page 174 ref According to Fareed Zakaria , a more recent example is Hong Kong , until July 1, 1997, which was ruled by the British Crown. He says that until 1991 it had never held a meaningful election, but its government epitomized constitutional liberalism , protecting its citizens basic rights and administering a fair court system and bureaucracy. The existence of real liberties in many of these autocracies is very questionable. Nineteenth century autocracies often abolished feudal institutions like serfdom , guild s, privileges for the nobility , and inequality before the law. However, freedom of speech and freedom of association were at best limited. As such, liberal autocracy often preceded various forms of electoral democracy in the evolution of these nations, being much more open than feudal monarchies but less free than modern liberal democracies. Hong Kong is arguably a special case, where during the latter stages of British colonial rule there were considerable freedom of speech and freedom of association, but also the common knowledge that China would not allow an independent state with free elections. It was also suggested that since 2005 Egypt has been leaning towards liberal autocracy ref http www.brookings.edu opinions 2008 0624 egypt alanani.aspx Liberal Autocracy in Egypt ref References refs See also Political liberalism Autocracy Liberal democracy Enlightened Absolutism Category liberalism ar ... more details
Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date August 2008 The New Totalitarians is a 1971 in literature 1971 book by British people British author Roland Huntford . Huntford analyzes the political and social climate of History of Sweden 1945 1989 early 1970s Sweden , and argues that it resembles a Enlightened absolutism benevolent totalitarian state in the mould of Aldous Huxley s Brave New World . At the time, Sweden was a nation controlled by the Social Democratic Party of Sweden , which had ruled the country s government for over 40 years. Huntford argues that this had led to the complete dominance of socialist thought at all levels of the government, including the bureaucracy and the judiciary, which were all controlled by a powerful interconnecting network of Social Democratic labour union s, lobby groups, and partisan organizations. He also points to the fact that these networks made it very difficult for non socialists to achieve any position of real power in Sweden, but noted that few Swedes seemed to view this massive politicization of their state with any concern. The New Totalitarians also analyzes Swedish society in a broader historical context, arguing that since the country bypassed the feudal system and has always been a very centralized state , Sweden never really developed a civic culture that champions individualism like other countries of Western Europe . He thus argues that the country s political culture and institutions are very much the product of a unique socio political context, and thus not applicable to otherwise comparable Western nations. Influences The book greatly influenced Canadian author Peter Brimelow , and is repeatedly cited in his similarly themed 1986 book on Canada , The Patriot Game book The Patriot Game .
