Are you a hedonist?

24 Comments

Hedonism is the school of thought that believes that pleasure is the only intrinsic value in life and suffering is the only intrinsic evil. The term is not necessarily negative, as it simply denotes the belief.

    Drunken orgies aren't the only source of happiness.

      Drunken orgies don't appeal to me in the least buy being pampered at spa sounds ideal to me!

    I wouldn't say so, just because hedonism, at least from what I've seen it practice is simply just living life and not caring about the consequences. I care about the consequences of my actions a lot. I also don't really do much. I don't party, I don't drink, I don't smoke, sure I hang out with friends, but most of that time just consists of talking and playing games. That doesn't happen though, so I spend most of my time either at home or work. Although not all of that alone time is by choice. Thus, I'm no Dorian Gray, even though sometimes I wish I was.

      Hedonism simply means thinking that pleasure is the only good. It doesn't necessarily mean going full on YOLO.

        Maybe not necessarily, but essentially that is how it is usually practiced. Kind of like how some people wouldn't call themselves Christian because they don't go to church, even though they probably are good people who help others when they can. I wouldn't call myself a hedonist, even though I like to have fun, like anybody else.

    I think so. I can't think of any "intrinsic evil" other than suffering. However, obviously what constitutes suffering is subjective so it seems to me that the position of hedonism is definitionally correct.

    Suffering is the only intrinsic evil? So...

    Good = stuff you like
    Evil = stuff you don't like

    And so concludes "Starting Your Own Religion 101"

    Hedonism can be a good way to catch an STD.

      This is why you try to use protection.

      I say try since I do have issues with this in the heat of the moment.

    Your definition of 'hedonism' is vague and incorrect.
