The doctrine holding that behavior is motivated by the desire for pleasure and the avoidance of pain.
I don't think philosophical hedonists say pleasure is a "first cause" but rather a final result.
Hedonists take whatever their subconscious has integrated on its own as their standard for what is good; in this sense they are quite mindless, acting, as they do, upon random subconscious impulses.

 Hedonism: Alive and Well, From Hellenism to Celine Dion...by Stefanie Hyder
Those who the ancient Hedonists would view as practicing their ideas today aren’t the people we would think of as Hedonists.
Epicurus, once a Hedonist, believed that the mild, safe, and lasting pleasures are the ones to strive for.
Kingwell says, “Hedonistic happiness is happiness as a contented feeling, sometimes but not always identifiable with simple pleasure, usually of the bodily kind.” (pg.

 PRAYER: THE POWER OF CHRISTIAN HEDONISM - (John 16:24) - John Piper
The point of the question is to hang Christian Hedonists on one horn or the other of a dilemma.
To be sure, we Christian Hedonists pursue our interest and our happiness with all our might; but we have learned from the Bible that God's interest is to magnify his glory by spilling over in mercy to us.
Therefore, Christian Hedonists who pursue in God's glory the fullness of their own joy will above all be people of prayer.

Now this was a Fresh Blast launch, which means the lucky band gets a bit of legal tender for extra lighting, for example (the front bar having suffered a little attrition in the illumination department).
Thus before the main act we got belly dancers clad in gold sequins, something special from the Hedonists' previous CD launch that was worth resurrecting.
They were accompanied a few times during the set by two violinists, which worked out better than the keyboard player at the earlier CD launch.

 Christian Hedonism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Oh, that I could drive the notion out of our churches that virtue requires a stoical performance of duty - the notion that good things are promised merely as the result of obedience but not as an incentive for it.
The Bible is replete with promises which are not appended carefully as non-motivational results, but which clearly and boldly and hedonistically aim to motivate our behavior.
Therefore, worship which pleases God is the hedonistic pursuit of God in whose presence is fullness of joy and in who hand are pleasures for evermore (Psalm 16:11).

 British Medical Journal: Happy hedonists
The only difference was that people could pretend they were behaving otherwise, could protest that they were motivated not by vulgar, selfish, hedonistic drives but by supposedly higher, more altruistic ideals.
In antiquity, Epicurus and his followers, while not "epicureans" in the crass "eat, drink, and be merry" sense, had urged a hedonism that prized if not the indulgence of appetites, at least the avoidance of pain.
"New hedonist" was not old rake "writ large," but the man or woman of sensibility who could pursue satisfaction through sociable behaviour and whose good nature would give as well as take pleasure.

 Mark Squires' E-zine,  July 2002 Ideology of Wine article
The Hedonists want to know where the beef and flavor is, and why it’s so wrong to like ripe, forward fruit.
From a Hedonist’s point of view, returning fire, a lot of the wines the Intellectuals like aren’t really elegant or complex, just thin and bland.
To the Hedonist, it’s a wine that is so reserved (or comes with so many rustic flaws) that you had better drink it with food, to give you something to focus on and/or cover up its flaws, or you’ll fall asleep from boredom.

Yesterday, Alan Keyes, who is running against Democrat Barack Obama for a US Senate seat, took the trouble to get on the radio to announce that gays and lesbians are "selfish hedonists".
Illinois Republicans were quick to explain that Alan Keyes, who lives in Maryland but is asking to represent Illinois in the US Senate, is an expert in selfish hedonism.
Now that Keyes has identified the selfish hedonists, we're waiting for the praise he'll offer to those conservative elite corporate criminals like Ken Lay and Conrad Black.

The age-old misconception that Epicurus was a hedonist has been debunked by numerous philosophers (e.g., Nussbaum, "Therapy of Desire," Princeton).
Indeed Epicurus is not even quoted for his real views; his biographer Diogenes Laertius is substituted in his stead.

My third thought, which may be more profound than the other two, is that we can have a culture war in this country, or we can have a war on poverty, but we can't have both.
That is to say, liberals and conservatives can go on bashing each other for being godless hedonists and primitive theocrats, or they can set those differences off to one side and work together to help the needy.
