In Chapter 1 of Six Myths About the Good Life, Kupperman argues that it is wrong to believe that pleasure will always lead to th
e best possible life. Analyze two of the arguments that he makes to support this claim and explain which of the two arguments you find to be most convincing and why.
Six Myths About the Good Life is a book published in 2006 and written by Joel J. Kupperman about values; when it comes to his argument about "pleasure not always leading to the optimal" Kupperman says that the constant pursuit of pleasure is just anxiety, a compulsion for more regardless of any consequences and the evidence of a deeper existential and psychological trauma due to their inability to get fulfilment or gratification. He also states that life with infinite pleasures would be boring. I believe that from those arguments, the most convincing one would be the 1st one where the constant pursuit of pleasure not always lead to an optimal outcome or satisfaction, especially if anxiety is involved to the extent of people not aware of what actually makes them happy and going for the next pleasant target without consciously enjoying what they already obtained but going by inertia.
Explanation: The letter of the law versus the spirit of the law is an idiomatic antithesis. When one obeys the letter of the law but not the spirit, one is obeying the literal interpretation of the words (the "letter") of the law, but not necessarily the intent of those who wrote the law.
