ɪˈlɛuːθɒnɪz(ə)m
noun
the pursuit of freedom for oneself or others; physical, emotional or spiritual.
The Astronist ethical principle of eleuthonism states that freedom is the only righteous objective as long as one’s decisions and beliefs do not hinder or remove the freedoms of others (e.g. murder, abortion, homophobia); as such, freedom is equated with all that is morally good.
