Abstract

AbstractA popular objection to hedonist accounts of personal welfare has been the experience machine argument. Several modifications of traditional hedonism have been proposed in response. In this article I examine two such responses, recently expounded by Feldman and Sumner respectively. I argue that both modifications make hedonism indistinguishable from anti‐hedonism. Sumner's account, I claim, also fails to satisfy the demands of theoretical unity.
