from Greek Epikouros.伊壁鳩魯

伊壁鳩魯認為，最大的善來自快樂，沒有快樂就沒有善。快樂包括肉體上的快樂，也包括精神上的快樂。伊壁鳩魯區分了積極的快樂和消極的快樂，並認為消極的快樂擁有優先的地位，它是「一種厭足狀態中的麻醉般的狂喜」。同時，伊壁鳩魯強調，在我們考量一個行動是否有趣時，我們必須同時考慮它所帶來的副作用。在追求短暫快樂的同時，也必須考慮是否可能獲得更大、更持久、更強烈的快樂。他還強調，肉體的快樂大部分是強加於我們的，而精神的快樂則可以被我們所支配，因此交朋友、欣賞藝術等也是一種樂趣。自我的慾望必須節制，平和的心境可以幫助我們忍受痛苦。

享樂主義(Hedonism)認為享樂是人類最重要的追求。詞語的來源是從希臘語的 "pleasure"
享樂主義是所有動作皆可被一個人會產生的享受與痛楚所決定，力求將享樂與痛苦的距差增至最大。
