Theories of well-beingâand hence of âhappinessâ in the well-being senseâcome in three basic flavors, according to the best-known taxonomy (Parfit 1984): hedonism, desire theories, and objective list theories.
Hedonism is a school of thought that argues that pleasure and happiness are the primary or most important intrinsic goods and the aim of human life. A hedonist strives to maximize net pleasure (pleasure minus pain), but when having finally gained that pleasure, either through intrinsic or extrinsic goods, happiness remains stationary.
