'''Hedonism''' is a [[philosophy]] which emphasizes the pursuit of personal pleasure above all other considerations, or as the sole consideration in life.
[[Epicureanism]] could be considered a form of ancient hedonism. [[Jeremy Bentham]] endorsed hedonism in his book: ''An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation'' (1789). ''Other major contributors to debate about hedonism include [[Plato]], [[Aristotle]], [[John Stuart Mill]], Moore, Sidgwick, Ross, and Broad.'' [http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hedonism/]
Bentham and his pupil Mill, defended the ethical theory of [[Utilitarianism]] (see essay ''Utilitarianism'', 1861 and ''On Liberty'', 1859.).
