Right! I’m glad to see someone thinking critically about what hedonism to fundamentslly means, rather than relying on the more pejorative usage of the term.
I realised once that, even tho I was a drug free tee totaller who didn’t party or have sex much, I was still a hedonistic at that time because I played videogames as much as possible.
What would be considered hedonistic back then? Talking a walk in the woods and climbing mountains for pleasure?
In the text it means any choice you make that sacrifices long term benefits for instant gratification. Nietzsche was way into promoting things that give you pleasure, just not at the cost of your health and prosperity
Obviously Hedonic Philosophy isn’t about that either but he wasn’t thinking of hedonism as a philosophy, he was describing a problem humans have with how we make choices
Unironically, yes maybe. If it is seen as avoiding your responsibilities, and doesn’t contribute to some area of society (but rather sees-to the “worship” of you yourself) then it is hedonistic
Edit: other guy said it better than me
