Deterministic Hedonism: _Hedonic Law, Hedonic Inversion, Free Will and The Meaning of Life_

Deterministic Hedonism is presented as a complete, descriptive philosophical doctrine in a new revised edition. The text systematically integrates a causal analysis of behavior within the framework of the Hedonic Law (H=S−U) and shows how this mechanism operates across all forms of behavior—action, restraint, and even inactivity. It describes hedonic inversion as a functional turning point after which life changes its teleological structure and pleasure becomes the final criterion of behavior. On this basis, the doctrine develops hedonic compatibilism and a scheme of “double determinism,” in which free will is interpreted as an agent’s internal causal necessity, compatible with external causality. Finally, it examines the meaning of life as an operationally defined, stable configuration of priorities (eudaimonia)—a form of subjective evaluation of life as a whole.
