as a matter of course, achieve an
ethical life, for its adherents.
Three ethical theories, hedonist,
Aristotelian, and Judeo-Christian
offer a solution.
The easiest solution, according
to Freund, is hedonism, for its
basis is pleasure. The theory holds
that a life which is deficient in
pleasure is, therefore, deficient in
goodness. Pleasure cannot, how
ever, be attained at another’s ex
pense. he said.
Hedonism Ambiguous
In politics, what brings plea
sure to most people without harm
ing anyone, is best. Freund says
he feels the chief deficiency in
this theory is its ambiguity. (
In discussing the Aristotelian
theory he said the basis is happi
ness, which should as. Aristotle
stated be “activity of the soul in
accordance with perfection.” To
attain perfection through exercis
ing one’s reason.
Discussing the Judeo-Christian
theory, JTreund said the basis as
stated by Christ and in the scrip
tures is love of God above all,
and love of our neighbor next.
The good life and heaven, and
not riches, should be the goal of
all life, he added.
Cites Camel Parable
As an example Freund cited the
parable of the rich man who could
not give up his riches to follow
Christ. Christ said it is easier for
a camel to enter the eye of a nee
dle than a rich man to enter the
Kingdom of Heaven.
Freund said one could take val
ues such as civil freedom, equality
9f opportunity, and fair play and
justice and use these standards to
judge current politics as to how
well and to what extent they have
achieved the good government—
happiness.
