Hedonism, the word is unpretentiously used to describe a life of self-indulgence and sensual delights. There are several sub-divisions of “hedonism” in philosophy, and one of the most popular—advanced by Ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus—ultimately advocates for a rather simple life. Epicurus’s version of Hedonism, commonly referred to as Epicureanism, agrees that pleasure is the greatest good and the best life is the most pleasant life but he also thinks the highest pleasure you can achieve is the non-existence of pain. Once the pain has been removed, you don’t increase pleasure from that point on, you just vary it.
