Bag om Hedonistic Theories From Aristippus To Spencer (1895)

Hedonistic Theories From Aristippus To Spencer is a book written by John Watson and originally published in 1895. The book explores the concept of hedonism, which is the idea that pleasure and happiness are the ultimate goals of human life. The author traces the history of hedonistic philosophy from its earliest roots in the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristippus, to the more contemporary ideas of the English philosopher Herbert Spencer.The book provides a comprehensive overview of the different versions of hedonism, including ethical hedonism, which argues that pleasure is the only intrinsic good, and psychological hedonism, which states that all human actions are motivated by the pursuit of pleasure. The author also examines the criticisms of hedonism, including the argument that it is a selfish philosophy that neglects the well-being of others.Throughout the book, the author engages with the ideas of prominent philosophers and thinkers, including Epicurus, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, and Henry Sidgwick, among others. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal resource for students and scholars of philosophy, as well as anyone interested in the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
