The Experience/Quale of Pleasure as an Objective Good and the Peace of the Organism, the Experience/Quale of Suffering as a War in the Organism (Comparison with John Locke´s Qualities)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study argues that good is a value that is a kind of fact. It is a kind of conscious subjective experience, that is to say, a quale. In the experience of pleasure we obviously and immediately recognize that it is something of value. This can be ascertained on the basis of systematic introspection. That pleasure is good is shown by the method of introspection. Method of introspection was partially rehabilitated by cognitive science and cognitive psychology which at the end of the last century. The only things we really register are qualia, that is, subjective conscious perceptions, sensations. The method of introspection shows us that pleasure brings peace, inner relaxation, harmony, balance to the body of the person experiencing it. On the contrary, suffering brings war, it is a kind of tension, a tension in the organism, a state of imbalance. The harmony in the organism, i.e. the pleasure, is perceived as a positive value. On the contrary, disharmony in the body, that is, suffering, is perceived as a negative value, as a state of imbalance. It seems that pleasure is a good and suffering is bad/wrong/evil. Rational person should strive to maximize good and minimize evil. The ethical consequence of this can be called "egoistic principle": we only have to maximize our own pleasure, because we can experience (feel, perceive, own, have) only our own experiences. It seems that nobody has convincingly shown what else, another or "higher" value should be.
