Hedonism bot3/3/2024 ![]() I find Robert Nozick’s “experience machine” argument against that kind of hedonism pretty compelling. ![]() Everything else that’s good-friendship, family, democracy, human rights, bodily autonomy, meaningful relationships, a sense of purpose, you name it-is good because it leads toward pleasure and away from pain. A “hedonist” in that sense believes that the only thing that’s intrinsically good is pleasure and the only thing that’s intrinsically bad is pain. I’m certainly not a “hedonist” in the philosophical sense. I’m an atheist, but am I an atheistic hedonist ? Hell, I might not even fall into the right category. Peterson didn’t actually say that I worship Pan.
