    It seems self-evident that people prefer painful experiences to be in the past and pleasurable experiences to lie in the future. Indeed, it has been claimed that, for hedonic goods, this preference is absolute (Sullivan, 2018). Yet very little is known about the extent to which people demonstrate explicit preferences regarding the temporal location of hedonic experiences, about the developmental trajectory of such preferences, and about whether such preferences are impervious to differences in the quantity of envisaged past and future (...)

    The Art Instinct: Beauty, Pleasure, and Human Evolution.Denis Dutton - 2009 - New York: Oxford University Press.
    The need to create art is found in every human society, manifest in many different ways across many different cultures. Is this universal need rooted in our evolutionary past? The Art Instinct reveals that it is, combining evolutionary psychology with aesthetics to shed new light on fascinating questions about the nature of art.

It consists of a series of notes - classed from A to H - that Gilles Deleuze had entrusted to me in order that I give them to Michel Foucault. It was in 1977. Foucault had just published La Volonté de savoir, the introduction to a Histoire de la Sexualité which challenged the play of categories through which the struggles of sexual liberation reflected itself.

    Utility- and pleasure-Friendship in the "nicomachean ethics" have commonly been held to be wholly self-Seeking relationships and of no great interest as forms of "friendship". Recently, John cooper has argued that these relationships essentially involve disinterested concern in a subtle blending of self- and other-Regarding purposes and causes. The article argues against cooper that disinterestedness has no part in these relationships but that they can nonetheless be seen as exhibiting trust, Sharing, Interdependence, And other virtues of interpersonal relationships.

  16. A Story of Corruption: False Pleasure and the Methodological Critique of Hedonism in Plato’s Philebus.John D. Proios - 2024 - Ancient Philosophy 44 (2):363-383.
    In Plato’s Philebus, Socrates’ second account of ‘false’ pleasure (41d-42c) outlines a form of illusion: pleasures that appear greater than they are. I argue that these pleasures are perceptual misrepresentations. I then show that they are the grounds for a methodological critique of hedonism. Socrates identifies hedonism as a judgment about the value of pleasure based on a perceptual misrepresentation of size, witnessed paradigmatically in the ‘greatest pleasures’.

  20. Hedonic Tone and the Heterogeneity of Pleasure.Ivar Labukt - 2012 - Utilitas 24 (2):172-199.
    Some philosophers have claimed that pleasures and pains are characterized by their particular or . Most contemporary writers reject this view: they hold that hedonic states have nothing in common except being liked or disliked (alternatively: pursued or avoided) for their own sake. In this article, I argue that the hedonic tone view has been dismissed too quickly: there is no clear introspective or scientific evidence that pleasures do not share a phenomenal quality. I also argue that analysing hedonic states (...)

    The Divine Method and the Disunity of Pleasure in the Philebus.Emily Fletcher - 2017 - Journal of the History of Philosophy 55 (2):179-208.
    the philebus is a puzzling dialogue, both for the substantive views it puts forward,1 and for the unexpected twists and turns of the discussion. Commentators frequently complain about the dialogue's lack of unity, due to its many apparently unnecessary digressions and interruptions.2 The discussion of the so-called 'divine method' seems to be one of the worst offenders on this score, for it is described and exemplified at length, only to be set aside as unnecessary shortly afterwards.I argue that the divine (...)

    Epiphenomenal Mind: An Integrated Outlook on Sensations, Beliefs, and Pleasure.William S. Robinson - 2018 - New York: Routledge.
    According to epiphenomenalism, our behavior is caused by events in our brains that also cause our mentality. This resulting mentality reflects our brains¿ organization, but does not in turn cause anything. This book defends an epiphenomenalist account of philosophy of mind. It builds on the author¿s previous work by moving beyond a discussion of sensations to apply an epiphenomenalist outlook to other aspects of mental causation such as beliefs, desires, pleasure, and displeasure. The first four chapters of the book (...)

    Two Understandings of Liberalist Sexual Ethics: Pleasure-based Liberalism and Autonomy-based Liberalism. 김은희 - 2013 - Korean Feminist Philosophy 19 (null):85-123.
    이 논문에서는 자유주의 성윤리로서 제시되어온 기존의 입장들이 검토되고, 그 안에서 발견되는 긴장, 혼란, 그리고 한계들이 지적된다. 그리고 최종적으로이런 문제점들을 제거할 수 있는 이론적 자원을 갖춘 자유주의 성윤리가 새롭게 제안될 것이다. 이렇게 제안된 새로운 자유주의는 자유주의 담론이 가진 본래 취지를더 선명히 드러내며, 자유주의 성윤리에 대한 혼란과 오해를 줄일 수 있다. 첫째, 나는 자유주의가 비판의 대상으로 삼았던 보수주의 성윤리를 검토한다. 나는 여기서 보수주의 성윤리의 대표적인 네 가지 이론적 원천들을 검토하며 그 한계를 지적하지만, 그것들을 완전히 폐기하지는 않는다. 이것은 충분히 자유주의 성윤리 담론을 새롭게 (...)

  28. Socrates, pleasure, and value.George Rudebusch - 1999 - New York: Oxford University Press.
    In this study, George Rudebusch addresses whether Socrates was a hedonist--whether he believed pleasure to be the good. In attempting to locate Socrates' position on hedonism, Rudebusch examines the passages in Plato's early dialogues that are the most disputed on the topic. He maintains that Socrates identifies pleasant activity with virtuous activity, describing Socrates' hedonism as one of activity, not sensation. This analysis allows for Socrates to find both virtue and pleasure to be the good, thus solving the (...)

    Health Promotion, Governmentality and the Challenges of Theorizing Pleasure and Desire.Kaspar Villadsen & Mads Peter Karlsen - 2016 - Body and Society 22 (3):3-30.
    The relationship between pleasure and asceticism has been at the core of debates on western subjectivity at least since Nietzsche. Addressing this theme, this article explores the emergence of ‘non-authoritarian’ health campaigns, which do not propagate abstention from harmful substances but intend to foster a ‘well-balanced subject’ straddling pleasure and asceticism. The article seeks to develop the Foucauldian analytical framework by foregrounding a strategy of subjectivation that integrates desire, pleasure and enjoyment into health promotion. The point of (...)

    심리적 쾌락의 반대개념은 무엇인가? 대부분의 사람들은 ‘고통’이라고 대답한다. 그러나 고통이 아니라 불쾌(不快)와 무쾌(無快)가 심리적 쾌락의 반대개념임을 논증하는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다. 이를 위하여 필자는 양극대립이라는 논리적 관계와 쾌락에 무관심한 심리적 상태에 주목한다. 불쾌는 쾌락의 양극대립자이다. 쾌락에 무관심한 심리적 상태인 무쾌는 쾌락의 중립적 대립자이다. 무쾌는 쾌락과 불쾌 사이의 진정한, 그리고 자연적인 경계이다. 무쾌는 독특한 방법으로 쾌락과 불쾌 둘 다에 관련되는 공간을 분할한다. 심리적 사건을 구성하고 있는 것은 유쾌한 사건이거나 불쾌한 사건 둘 중의 어느 하나이지만, 쾌락과 불쾌를 구성요소로 하여 생기는 사건은 무쾌일 (...)

  37. Kant on animal and human pleasure.Alexandra Newton - 2017 - Canadian Journal of Philosophy 47 (4):518-540.
    Feeling, for any animal, is a faculty of comparing objects or representations with regard to whether they promote its vital powers or hinder them. But whereas these comparisons presuppose a species-concept in non-rational animals, nature has not equipped the human being with a universal principle or life-form that would determine what agrees or disagrees with it. As humans, we must determine our mode of life for ourselves. Contrary to other interpretations, I argue that this places the human capacity for (...) and displeasure outside of nature and in a realm of spirit. (shrink)

    The impact of symmetry design of intangible cultural heritage souvenir on tourists’ aesthetic pleasure.Yuqing Liu, Meiyi Chen & Qingsheng Wang - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    Souvenirs play an important role in tourism development. They act not only as mementos, enabling tourists to relive and retain the memory of a particular journey, but also as main income sources for tourism destinations and stakeholders. Many intangible cultural heritages have been developed into souvenirs, especially products made by traditional craftsmanship. ICH souvenirs facilitate cultural value that is understandable to tourists, who appreciate the design of the ICH souvenirs and their contributions to a pleasure and memorable journey. Based (...)

    In virtue of what do we enjoy episodes of pleasure? According to the phenomenological theory of pleasure, we enjoy pleasures in virtue of having certain kinds of phenomenal experiences. According to the attitude theory of pleasure, we enjoy pleasures in virtue of having a certain kind of pro-attitude. In this chapter, we show that the attitude theory faces a dilemma. The attitude that is relevant to pleasure—the desire, liking, or favoring—is either necessarily co-instantiated with certain phenomenology, (...)
