Abstract
Despite its distinguished pedigree, hedonism is now unpopular among philosophers. But Pleasure and the Good Life: Concerning the Nature, Varieties, and Plausibility of Hedonism is Fred Feldman's able and spirited defense of hedonism, at least as a view about individual welfare or well-being.1 Pleasure and the Good Life incorporates two main projects. It aims to properly characterize hedonism, so as to reveal the wealth of its possible forms. And it aims to develop a particular form of hedonism, indeed a range of forms, which can evade standard objections to such a view. These two projects are linked, since the forms of hedonism which Feldman thinks plausible involve significant modifications of traditional hedonist claims. Let me begin with the first project, with the characterization of hedonism.
