    Chapter 6 - Pleasure

    Uploaded by

    Julianne Danielle Ding
    The document discusses different ethical theories related to pleasure and the good. It covers hedonism, which focuses on seeking one's own pleasure; utilitarianism, which seeks to maximize pleasure for everyone; and double effect, where an act with both good and bad effects can still be considered good. The document questions whether an act should be judged as good or bad solely based on the pleasure it provides. While some pleasurable acts are good, pleasure alone does not determine what is good - some acts are good for other reasons beyond just providing pleasure.
