Sludds, Paul. "Hedonism, well-being, and death." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2008. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.489098.

Abstract:

This thesis discusses theories of well-being with an emphasis on defending a particular kind of hedonism (what I will refer to as 'simple hedonism'). I hope to so show that hedonism as I construe it is tenable as a theory of well-being. Furthermore, will show that it compares favourably to rival theories. In the latter chapters I will explore the putative implications of this theory for the possibility that death is a misfortune for the one who dies. In doing so I will also consider in broader terms the plausibility of Epicurus' claim that death could never be a harm.

Abstract:

In what follows I shall attempt to trace the anti-hedonist arguments presented by Plato in his late dialogue, the Philebus. I shall at the same time try to bring out the rationalist approach to ethics that is offered as an alternative. I shall argue that the rationalism put forward by Plato in this dialogue is distinctive and valuable. Although I shall say little about this, the project is offered in response to the recent enthusiasm in contemporary ethics for Aristotle. I shall therefore try to bring out the distinctive concerns about character and integrity that motivate Plato's approach to

Abstract:

Hedonism is not terribly popular as a theory of well-being. And there are good reasons to question whether hedonism even supplies the best account of happiness. Yet hedonism captures something important, and it will be the goal of this essay to articulate just what that is. I suggest that hedonism provides the best account of phenomenal wellbeing (PWB). PWB is a restricted form of well-being that relates to the quality of the experience of a lifeÂor, in other words, the quality of oneÂs phenomenal life. If wellbeing is characterized as Âhow well oneÂs life goes,Â then PWB is Âhow well on

The prime objective of this thesis is to show that contrary to the common belief of historians of economic thought, hedonism has played a central and a continuous role in the development of economic theory. In the process of showing this, the thesis starts with a brief examination of the origins of hedonistic ideas in the works of ancient Greeks. The next chapter Is concerned with the reappearance (after a long break of several centuries) of the basic hedonistic ideas mainly In the thought of Gassendi, Helvetius and Hobbes, and their subsequent introduction to the field of economics with the w

Abstract:

Friendship and hedonism are both major components of Epicureanism. I attempt to relieve the tension that seems to follow from endorsing both of these. I argue that Epicurean friendships require valuing a friend’s well-being in the same way as one’s own and that embarking on such friendships is what David Schmidtz terms a maieutic end – one that is achieved by taking on a new set of ends. This conception fits with other-regarding concern that is espoused throughout the Epicurean texts discussing friendship and, as I argue, remains consistent with other psychological and ethical commitments of E

Is Socrates in the Protagoras a sincere hedonist? The decipherment of the latter question is fundamental to the unraveling of key aspects of Plato’s ethical thought. It has been suggested that Socrates in the Protagoras finds hedonism philosophically attractive for it functions as a necessary anti-akrasia premise and therefore it fits his moral psychology. At the same time quantitative hedonism provides for commensurability of moral value and, in turn, for a more straightforward, quantifiable, and action-guiding Platonic ethical theory. Although initially appealing, the latter hypothesis is de

Researchers have developed sophisticated procedures to build and validate multi-item scales that measure latent constructs. The vast majority of IS studies uses classical test theory (CTT), but this approach suffers from three major theoretical shortcomings: (1) it assumes a linear relationship between the latent variable and observed scores, which rarely represents the empirical reality of behavioral constructs; (2) the true score can either not be estimated d

Thesis (PhD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis an attempt is made to sketch the outlines of a cognitive theory of ethics, i.e. a theory in which ethical statements are a subset of descriptive statements. It is argued that the good is a quale, and that this quale roughly corresponds to what is often referred to as "pleasure". If this conceptualisation of the good is correct, then the resulting ethical theory is a cognitive, egoist version of ethical hedonism.

Party Season is about sex and speech and employs some of the conventions of the porn film. Apparently inconsequential 'filler' scenes and dialogue link the pay-off scenes of vividly depicted sex.

I show that there are in fact two ways in which pleasure (and other processes of the soul) can have value in the Philebus.

Durante la década de los 90s, el Perú se encontraba en una situación política inestable debido a conflictos internos previos y a cambios que ocurrían en el mundo. La población, entonces, adopta una actitud pragmática en búsqueda de la reconstrucción nacional; actitud que puede verse reflejada en la producción artística de la época. Frente a este contexto, el presente trabajo de investigación busca analizar cómo se representa el hedonismo en los videos musicales de la banda peruana “Nosequien y los Nosecuantos” durante los años 90. Para su desarrollo; en un primer momento, se explicará el papel

Abstract:

No contexto do culto hedonista do corpo e da ascensão do subjetivismo da vontade ao topo da escala de valores dos sujeitos contemporâneos, detectamos a existência de uma modalidade de identificação horizontal com aqueles que têm os mesmos traços de gozo, como por exemplo, entre aqueles que marcam o corpo. Partindo desta perspectiva este estudo articula dois elementos: o corpo marcado e as vicissitudes das identificações em tempos de fragilidade de referências simbólicas consistentes. Realizamos uma análise clínica a partir dos pressupostos da psicanálise dos dados de fala de quatro sujeitos qu

Abstract:

Ce travail traite de la pensée du plaisir à la fin de la Renaissance et particulièrement dans les Essais de Montaigne, au regard des philosophies hédonistes antiques, cyrénaïsme et épicurisme. Au XVIe siècle, la multiplication des éditions, traductions et commentaires des textes de philosophie ancienne et des recueils doxographiques met au jour les questions éthiques que se posent les auteurs grecs et latins sur la nature et la valeur du plaisir. Nous nous interrogeons sur les liens problématiques entre plaisir et morale à cette époque, marquée par les guerres de religion et la Contre-Réforme

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera vad det är som påverkar bostadspriserna på Uppsalas bostadsmarknad. Det är spekulanternas önskemål och krav, det vill säga deras betalningsvilja som påverkar priset. Det kan skilja sig mellan olika spekulanter men för det mesta ses ett tydligt mönster. Spekulanter värdesätter t.ex. områden som ligger nära centrum. Detta kan bero på att Uppsala är en studentstad där det är många studenter som rör sig från och till staden varje år. Bekvämlighet och närhet till bland annat universitet väger in mycket. Studiens statistik kommer från en av Uppsalas största m

The high cost of these constructions end up in the end at the Swedish taxpayers. The study examines through the hedonic pricing of real estate how local residents value the new stadiums. The result indicates that local residents put a positive value in the costly and sumptuous buildings.
