What is Hedonism ? What does it mean to be a "Hedonist" ?

Asked by partyrock (3870points) January 13th, 2012

What does it mean to be a hedonist nowadays? What is hedonism? Is it just someone that lives “life to the fullest” or parties a lot ? I’m confused.

Also, is it mostly considered to be a positive or negative thing (to be called a Hedonist) ?

The definition on the internet I found is : a person whose life is devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification.
