Hedonism

First published Tue Apr 20, 2004; substantive revision Thu Oct 17, 2013

The word ‘hedonism’ comes from the ancient Greek for ‘pleasure’. Psychological or motivational hedonism claims that only pleasure or pain motivates us. Ethical or evaluative hedonism claims that only pleasure has worth or value and only pain or displeasure has disvalue or the opposite of worth. Jeremy Bentham asserted both psychological and ethical hedonism with the first two sentences of his book An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation: “Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain, and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do”. Debate about hedonism was a feature too of many centuries before Bentham, and this has also continued after him. Other key contributors to debate over hedonism include Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Aquinas, Butler, Hume, Mill, Nietzsche, Brentano, Sidgwick, Moore, Ross, Broad, Ryle and Chisholm.

Kim Kardashian Said Goodnight to Ariana Grande with a Lime Green Thong Instagram

In the picture, Kardashian West is taking a mirror selfie, even though clearly there is someone about a foot away from her who is already taking a picture of her as she takes a picture of her reflection, but, just go with it. She's perched on a makeup table, as is a black bag with pictures of her and her sisters on it. But what's more note-worthy here, from a fashion perspective, is Kardashian's continued dedication to lime green.

MANSION GLOBAL

Manhattan’s supertall luxury towers brought some eye-popping sales to an otherwise unimpressive week for the borough’s high-end real estate market, according to the Olshan Report on Monday.

Overall, 19 homes priced over $4 million went into contract in the week ending Sunday, said the weekly report on new pending sales from Olshan Realty. While the city is still feeling the usual summer slowdown in activity, a single pending sale at One57 asking $44 million gave last week’s figures a bit of lift.

The home has gone into contract and is expected to sell, co-listing agent Joseph Montanaro of Sotheby’s International Realty Quebec confirmed on Thursday. The South Florida estate—replete with several large pools, a lazy river and waterslides—is listed today for $38.5 million, down 47% from its price four years ago.
