Theories of pleasure.. from Aristippus to Spencer

In the book Theories of Pleasure, John Watson studies the theories of pleasure from the days of the early Greeks to the time of writing the book, starting with the Sophists and their influence on thought in general, and in this theory in particular. Then he moves to study its completion with Eryxias, a forgotten student of Socrates, and how he linked sensation in epistemology with the doctrine of pleasure in moral philosophy, and how pleasure became the ultimate goal of life.
