Abstract

ABSTRACT Levinas maintains that there is a lasting significance to hedonism if we consider the important role of pleasures for our embodied existence. In this essay, we go back to Plato to explore the nature of pleasure, different kinds of pleasures, and their contribution to the good life. The good life is a considerate mixture of pleasures which requires knowing, understanding and remembering. Pleasures take us to the most basic level of existence which the Presocratics can help us understand through their idea of elements. With the help of Levinas, we can expand the concept of elements to include elemental states. As a result, we see how our embodied existence opens us up to various levels of otherness.

“享乐主义道德的永恒真理”：柏拉图和列维纳斯谈快乐

列维纳斯认为，如果我们考虑到快乐在我们具体化的存在中所起的重要作用，那么享乐主义具有持久的意义。在这篇文章中，我们将回到柏拉图，探索快乐的本质，不同种类的快乐，以及它们对美好生活的贡献。美好的生活是各种快乐的混合体，它需要了解、理解和记忆。快乐把我们带到存在的最基本的层面，前苏格拉底主义者可以通过他们的元素概念帮助我们理解这一点。在列维纳斯的帮助下，我们可以将元素的概念扩展到包括元素状态。因此，我们看到我们的具体存在如何将我们打开到不同层次的他者。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
