Malicious pleasure evaluated: Is pleasure an unconditional good?
Pacific Philosophical Quarterly 84 (1):24–31 (2003)
Abstract
Pleasure is one of the strongest candidates for an occurrence that might be good, in some respect, unconditionally. Malicious pleasure is one of the most often cited alleged counter-examples to pleasure’s being an unconditional good. Correctly evaluating malicious pleasure is more complex than people realize. I defend pleasure’s unconditionally good status from critics of malicious pleasure.Author's Profile
