Get the HeadOn mug.moderate conservative hedonism", "mch" for short, is a term used to broadly describe the weltanschauung -- sociopolitical & otherwise --of any well-bred gentleman, scholar, bonvivant, & gourmand before the death of old europe.
mch is characterized by a propensity for the general enjoyment of life. -- within a certain moderation, Μηδὲν ἄγαν, & with a keen eye for the tradition.
though the mch outlook has declined since the death of old europe, some men, like roberto calasso or gerard depardieu, remain true to the old ways.
expressions of mch in the heritage of europe are too numerous to count, though here is a list of some quintessentials:
wine, the delphic maxims, cheese, decadent plates of cold cuts, fruit, & marzipan, observance of the faith, rococo painting & second empire furniture, death in venice, sonnets to the fishermen of capri, a gallon of beer a day, hatred of taxes, an aloof & cosmopolitan view of things (in particular in matters culinary & poetic), the study of botany, ornithology, monteverdi's madrigals, chess, collections of old cookbooks, gambling (but not too much), an interest in pencils, coffeehouse brawling, orientalism, a fine assortment of various rare teas, liberatory book theft, quoting vauvenargues at the cute cashier in the store, hiking, opening a beauty salon in the ruins of the lotus-land, foie gras for breakfast.

Get the Hedonize mug.Because "hedonist" takes too long to say, one who believes in the philosophy of or practices hedonism, the idea that life is meant for pleasure, or that the pursuit of pleasure is of the highest calling in life. This could include drinking, drugs, sex, or for the moderates, having fun. Has the connotation that one throws caution and wisdom to the wind. Not to be confused with heathen.

Get the Hedon mug.A modern, growing Religion based on enjoying the pleasures of this life, now, instead of holding out for a hoped-for heaven after you're dead and it's too late.
Rational Hedonism is a religion revolving around the individual, and the belief that Your world revolves around You.
Rational Hedonism believes in indulging in the things you enjoy, but with responsibility; ie: sex is great, STDs and unwanted pregnancy is not ... following your desires, dreams is cool, going to prison because of it is not.
