Abstract

Abstract Some experiences—like the experience of eating cheesecake—are good experiences to have. But when we try to explain why they are good, we encounter a clash of intuitions. First, we have an objectivist intuition: plausibly, the experiences are good because they feel the way that they do. Second, we have a subjectivist intuition: if a person were indifferent to that kind of experience, then it might fail to be good for that person. Third, we have a possibility intuition: for any kind of experience, possibly there is a subject who is indifferent to that kind of experience. The pleasure problem is the problem we face in reconciling these three claims. I explain the problem and argue for a solution. I argue that we ought to reject the most common solutions: rejecting the objectivist or subjectivist intuitions. Instead, we ought to follow Timothy Sprigge in rejecting the possibility claim. We should embrace the view that experiences bear necessary connections to our attitudes.

快乐问题和Spriggean解决方案
有些经历——比如吃起司蛋糕的经历——是值得拥有的好经历。但当我们试图解释它们为什么好时,我们会遇到直觉上的冲突。首先,我们有一种客观主义的直觉:似乎,这些体验是好的,因为它们有这样的感觉。第二,我们有一种主观主义的直觉:如果一个人对那种经历漠不关心,那么它可能对那个人没有好处。第三,我们有一个可能性直觉:对于任何一种经验,可能有一个主体对这种经验漠不关心。快乐问题是我们在调和这三种说法时所面临的问题。我解释问题并提出解决方案。我认为我们应该拒绝最常见的解决方案:拒绝客观主义或主观主义的直觉。相反,我们应该效仿蒂莫西·斯普里格,拒绝这种可能性主张。我们应该接受这样的观点:经历与我们的态度有必然的联系。
