I've said it before and I'll say it again, hedonism gets a bad rap.

Hedonism, if it's logically consistent and takes a long-term view, is basically Epicureanism, which is far from what comes to mind when we hear the term hedonism.

No it isn’t. The two are opposites. Pleasure vs happiness,

[scotty79]

Opposite? They are prerequisites of each other. Can't be happy without pleasure. Can't feel pleasure when unhappy.

Reminds me of the distinction between Type 1 and Type 2 fun.

[avgcorrection]

Lower-case hedonism (not the philosophy) gets a deservedly bad rap. There is little long-term satisfaction in pleasure-seeking.

Maybe Hedonism is sound.
