Abstract:

Does Plato have a consistent view about the nature and value of pleasure? In the Phaedo, pleasure is the primary obstacle to a philosopher’s pursuit of wisdom, while the Republic presents the philosopher’s life as the most pleasant. In the Gorgias, Plato’s character Socrates rejects hedonism by showing that the ceaseless pursuit of pleasure is foolish, but in the Philebus Socrates argues that the best human life requires some pleasures. There is more continuity in Plato’s views about pleasure than one might think from these conflicting assessments. In particular, there are two distinctively Platonic criticisms of pleasure: (1) that pleasure is essentially linked with pain, and (2) that pleasure produces false beliefs. These criticisms recur throughout the corpus, but they do not apply uniformly to all pleasures. Plato eventually recognizes a special class of pleasures that are immune to these criticisms and play an important role in the best life.

Abstract:

This contribution examines, through a discussion of Thomas Aquinas’s teaching, what philosophers in the later Middle Ages thought about the nature of pleasure. Generally speaking, Aquinas and his contemporaries consider pleasures as passions of the soul. After exploring what this means for their understanding of pleasure, it is explained how this approach to pleasure is compatible with two aspects we often associate with pleasure: perfection and feeling. The essay then turns to the distinction between different kinds of pleasures, especially between sensory and intellectual pleasures. This leads to the question of where pleasures are located in the soul and to the idea, defended by some authors, that truly human pleasures belong to the will. Finally, by way of concluding, some brief indications are given as to how other later medieval philosophers further develop or react to the views on pleasure that we can find in Aquinas’s works.

Abstract:

This book challenges received views about pleasures as principally motivating of action, themselves unanalyzable, caused, rather than responsive to reasons, and perhaps because of that, antithetical to rationality by looking to the history of philosophical accounts of pleasure. The book begins by showing how Plato, Aristotle, early Islamic philosophers, and philosophers in the medieval Latin tradition, such as Aquinas, honed in on the challenge unifying the variety of pleasures so that they fall under one concept. In the early modern period, philosophers shift from understanding the logic of pleasure to treating pleasure as a mental state. As the studies of Malebranche, Berkeley, and Kant show, the central problem becomes understanding the relation of pleasure to other sensory experiences and so the role of pleasure in human cognition and knowledge. The Reflections, on visual representations in seventeenth-century classrooms and the difficult music of composers like Bach, demonstrate translation of these concerns to cultural production in the period. As the essay on Mill demonstrates, the nineteenth-century development of scientific psychology narrows the definition of pleasure, and so the philosophical focus. Contemporary accounts of pleasure, in both philosophy and psychology, are now recognizing the limitations of this narrow focus, and once again recognizing the complexity of pleasure and so of its role in human life.

Harte, Verity. Plato’s Philebus and the Value of Idle Pleasure. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198817277.003.0007.

Abstract:

Early in his Methods of Ethics, Sidgwick quotes with approval William Lecky’s claim that ‘the pleasure of virtue can be obtained only on the express condition of its not being the object sought’. This makes the pleasure of virtue idle—a pleasure that falls outside of the motivational framework of the activity in which the pleasure arises. In Plato’s Philebus, Socrates identifies certain so-called ‘true pleasures’ as the only pleasures that are, without qualification, good. These true pleasures are idle in the relevant sense: they are pleasures one gets without aiming at them, that is, without pleasure having a practically guiding role in the activities that give rise to them. This is non-accidental: these are pleasures one will get only by not taking pleasure as one’s guide. Further, this fact about the motivational structure of these pleasures is essentially connected to their goodness.

Abstract:

Wordsworth’s writing detects and investigates pleasures that are overlooked, underacknowledged, and ‘unremembered’. This book explores Wordsworth’s sustained interest in the ethical and aesthetic value of lost, inaccessible, and unfelt pleasure throughout his poetry and critical prose. Such pleasures are marginal and fleeting; they pass by silently and are recognized only retrospectively. Yet they shape the aims, technique, and ultimately the whole affective economy of Wordsworth’s writing. Rather than understanding the domain of pleasure to be subjective personal experience, Wordsworth posits affects and attachments beyond conscious experience and possession. By tracing the intertwined history of romanticism and psychoanalysis, the work teases Wordsworth’s interest in unnoticed experience apart from the psychoanalytic concepts that have shaped our understanding of it. Reading Wordsworth against Freud, it rethinks central critical categories: repression, sublimation, mourning, happiness, pleasure, and the gift. In Wordsworth’s account of composition, it locates the resources to rethink poetic pleasure: not as wish-fulfilment, nor as aesthetic escape, but as an engaged and reparative relation to the world.

Abstract:

Contemporary neurobiological research has greatly improved our understanding of brain mechanisms that regulate hedonic response and the environmental stimuli that trigger physical and mental pleasure. However, to explain what purpose pleasure serves, we need to look at the problem from the perspective of evolutionary biology. Focusing on a specific type of pleasure, sexual pleasure, this chapter introduces several evolutionary studies that show how the variation in pleasurable experiences becomes understandable when hedonic capacity is viewed as an inner navigator that evolved to guide individuals toward the most adaptive behavioral choices. As a case in point, the alternative hypotheses that have been advanced to explain the evolution of female orgasm (the adaptive versus the byproduct hypothesis) are discussed. The findings of recent studies exploring the complexity of human sexual response and the striking sex differences that distinguish male and female responses to sexual stimuli are also presented.

Abstract:

In this chapter I defend an account of how pleasure can be a virtuous or vicious state independently of any connection to overt actions. After a brief overview of what pleasure is, I argue that pleasure is relevant to moral character when it manifests moral concern. I then discuss the relationship between pleasure and concern in more detail and, in doing so, highlight some of the psychological complexities that arise. Finally, I use the account to solve some puzzles about virtuous and vicious pleasure by focusing on schadenfreude, pleasure in the suffering of others, and mudita, pleasure in the success and good fortune of others.
