    This document discusses hedonism and its classification into egoism and utilitarianism. It presents two Greek philosophers, Aristippus and Epicurus, who were influential early proponents of hedonism. Aristippus argued that pleasure should not enslave people, while Epicurus saw pleasure as the absence of pain and troubles. The document also distinguishes between psychological egoism, which sees self-interest as part of human nature rather than ethics, and ethical egoism, which holds that individuals should pursue self-interest as their ethical duty. Ethical egoism is criticized by some.
