Hedonism is a doctrine, or philosophy of life, that advocates the pursuit of pleasure as the purpose of human life. Hedonism emerged in Classical Antiquity, more precisely in the transition from classical to Hellenistic philosophy. It was created by the Greek philosopher Aristippus of Cyrene. He believed, like Aristotle, that there was a purpose to human life. However, Aristotle placed the goal of this purpose in happiness, while Aristippus cultivated the idea of ​​purpose in pleasure. Aristippus's hedonism was, purely and simply, a theory that guided life through the full pursuit of pleasure.
