Hedonistic imperativism

Hedonistic imperativism is the idea that the primary goal of ethical actions should be to maximize pleasure and minimize pain. It suggests that we should actively work to reduce suffering and increase happiness for all sentient beings. This philosophy emphasizes that well-being is the ultimate moral value, and decisions should be guided by their impact on feelings of pleasure or pain, aiming for a world where suffering is eliminated and overall happiness is prioritized.
