1. Motivational Hedonism.
Bentham's claim that pain and pleasure determine what we shall do makes him a hedonist about the determination of action. The more modest view that pleasure and pain determine our motivation to act will instead be the focus below. It can accommodate cases in which hedonistic motivation fails to generate hedonistic action, and cases in which, though it does generate such action, that action itself fails in hedonist terms. Indeed, the ‘paradox of hedonism’ is, roughly, the claim that those motivated in favour of pleasure get less of it, and those motivated against pain get more of it (see Sidgwick 1907, 48f).
