The Critiques of Ethical Hedonism

I argue for a new way to present the different objections that have been raised against ethical hedonism, the view that only pleasure and displeasure have final value. The typology of objections that I propose departs from existing categorizations in three distinct ways. In doing this, I also highlight some neglected strands of critique stemming from the analysis of the nature of (dis)pleasure, which suggest promising avenues for future research.
