Philosophical Hedonism

Philosophical hedonism is the idea that the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain are the main goals of life. It suggests that what makes actions good or right is how much happiness or satisfaction they generate for individuals. In this view, maximizing personal pleasure is considered the most meaningful way to live. While some interpret it as seeking immediate enjoyment, others see it as a broader focus on overall well-being. Hedonism emphasizes that a good life is one where pleasure is prioritized, and pain minimized, as the ultimate measure of success.
