Happiness and Pleasure
Keywords:
happiness, pleasure, person, good, phenomenologyAbstract
The author argues about the essential difference between the experience of happiness and pleasure. It offers phenomenological analysis of the experience of pleasure from the satisfaction of the pre-given bodily or mental desire as well as the description of the peculiar positive quality, gift-character and personal presuppositions of happiness subjected to critical rejection of the hedonistic conception of human happiness. The article offers evidence that the human person’s happiness essentially presupposes his ability to open himself to the world and manifest his inherent personal potential through his commitment to the objectivity of the good.
