Philosophy for Lunch
October 26: Are We All Hedonists?
11:45AM–12:45PM
Schmitt Hall, Room 104
Hedonists believe that we increase our well-being by seeking and maximizing pleasure. Critics of hedonism maintain that the hedonist conception of the good life gives short shrift to our humanity. If you tend to be critical of hedonism, you may be surprised by the way in which hedonists integrate goods such as knowledge and friendship into their view of a good life. We'll read and discuss passages by some contemporary and ancient hedonist philosophers and some critics.
Thursdays - 11:45AM–12:45 PM
