According to the Hedonist, happiness is an attitudinal pleasure. A positive attitude towards fun.  It can range from soft content to intense.  Any physical pleasure to be acceptable, hedonism must be understood. It considers happiness to be the key to a better life than physical well-being.  There are many ways to live a good life.  Many models of a good life and hedonism explains why there are so many different ways to live a good life.

2. HEDONISM

Hedonism considers happiness to be the key to a better life than physical well-being.  There are many ways to live a good life.  Many models of a good life and hedonism explains why there are so many different ways to live a good life. Happiness, however, is essential to life.  A life without happiness, there can be no better life.  When you are happy, life is good too.  When you are happiest your life is better than you.  A good life contains a lot of things that are inherently valuable.  So go for "what is inherently valuable". We really need to know. The natural way to start thinking about this is to clearly consider some of the good lives. It's to think about why every life is so good. Hedonism can be traced back to the ancient Greeks in the West. Rus, a great hedonist, argued that fun is as the only thing worth pursuing. Epicurus argued that is the most pleasing that of internal peace.  The perfect state of calm often comes from two sources: neutrality in all physical matters and intellectual clarity of what is really important. Vision is the path to such clarity.  The scene can reveal untruths our beliefs. He goes on to say that we can easily get angry and that sex and money are the mainstays of a good life.  If Hedonism is true, happiness directly improves one's well-being, grief directly overwhelms it.  Everyone believes it.  Studying hard, playing by the rules, eating, or telling the truth. Our value in such things protects us.  So they need to be protected.  On the positive side, affirming it can improve our lives.  Happiness raises our standard of living.  Similarly physical pain usually reduces our well-being because we do not enjoy it.  But in extraordinary cases, when a person really likes it, physical pain can occur. Improves the well-being of that person. Hedonism explains why it is so difficult to present universally.

 

2.1 Is Happiness All That Matter

People who try to be happier than ever successful. Philosophers refer to this as the paradox of Hedonism. The paradox is not surprising. A serious threat to Hedonism. It does not challenge the idea of ​​being happy. Happiness is what we need for our loved ones. Happiness contributes to a truly good life. But hedonism is not without problems. Good answers to the paradox of hedonism, worrying about evil pleasures, and Ross has protests in both worlds. But when we do things, things are tactical. Considers the value of happiness based on false beliefs. Further, Hedonists cannot allow the innate value of self-control. Consider the value of happiness based on false beliefs. Hedonists cannot allow the innate value of self-government.

 

2.2 Getting What You Want

Nothing can make life better. It requires personal wealth, health, and a loving family. Benefits only if we want or can provide them. If we did not take care of them, then they cannot make us better. I like this theory a lot. It all depends on whether our lives have improved. Whether our desires have been fulfilled. It shows that you can live a good life with all your heart. A good life if devotion, philosophy, music, travel, social justice or a favorite sports team focus on religious causes none of this or a combination of these seems to be possible. It makes sense to assume that our personal desires are retained. Hadonists say that happiness is inherently valuable. They don’t care about being extraordinarily happy.  Desire theorists reject all objective theories of welfare. In doing so, they survive the big controversy surrounding protection. Many people think that something can only be good for us if we can.  Others think that having wealth or power is the best way of life.  This is not true. If you do not care about inner peace and it does not get you anything, it is difficult to see why. The reason you search for it. 

Even religious leaders are talking more about global poverty and climate change less about casual and pornography.  Ethics, however, are somewhat untouched by the complexities of formulating simple rules Difficult to apply. Not only the best. The theory of retribution is utilitarianism. The classical user considers an action to be correct only if it gives pleasure to all who are affected.  Ethics is not based on religion. Ethics is not something that can only be understood in context. Ethics is considered completely independent of religion. Some theologians say that ethics is impossible without religion. They say that 'good' means nothing but 'what God approves'. The more important connection between traditionally religion and ethics. Religion provides a reason to do what is right. There must be a self-interest to obey moral law. It requires obedience. It requires faith in heaven and hell. Hell is not always the cause of moral behavior. During this long period of evolution, we developed moral principles. There is a sense of moral correctness and justice among human beings. From these intelligent responses shared with other social mammals. Morality has grown under the influence of our acquisition. It has taken different forms in different human cultures. Ethics is not relative to the society in which we live. Ethics means the existence of objective moral standards. These elements of our thinking and speech seem to connect us in some way.  Ethics refers to the existence of objective moral standards. These aspects of our thinking and speech are related to us in some way. Rejection of objective moral facts does not mean rejection of morality.

4. CONCLUSION

Hedonism comes from the Greek word Hedone which means to seek pleasure. In English, the term is used to describe the desire to gain pleasure while avoiding pain. There are various theories that explain hedonism as phenomena in human life. Various types of hedonism exist depending on the perception of different groups of people. For instance, hedonistic utilitarianism is one of the rarely endorsed types of hedonism since it provides the proposal that hedonism is good as long as pleasure is not gained through making others feel pain, without giving concern to moral values associated with hedonism. Motivational hedonism claims that people are guided by their behavior to seek pleasure and not pain while hedonistic egoism drives people to achieve pleasure at whatever cost, even if it means smuch pleasure as possible.
