How to Combat Hedonism with Dr. Peter Kreeft

"So let's say here's the claim. "I want to be free to do what I want." Okay, well, hang on a sec. Which 'I' are you talking about there? Are you talking about the mature 'I' that sees next week and next month, and next year and ten years out? And that takes the community into account? Or are you talking about the impulsive, hedonistic, self-serving, narrow 'I' that just wants exactly what it wants right now? And what makes you think that when you make a case for that hedonism that you're not just falling under the sway of an impulsive, short sighted demon, so to speak..."
"With the optimal set of principles, you get the maximally desirable freedom. And it's not freedom from everything, and it's not freedom to do anything. It's certainly not a narrow, hedonistic freedom because that's backfires on you."
