User:JEby1/False pleasure

Edits I have made:
I wrote in the first section of the article "When one is said to have a false pleasure, this should not be confused with not actually feeling pleasure. Pleasure can be described as being false or true based on the content of where the pleasure comes from. When being faced with a situation where one holds a false belief that in turn makes them feel pleasure, this would be categorized as false pleasure. An example of this could be if someone gets pleasure from being in a happy relationship, yet they are unaware that the other person is cheating, this is pleasure that comes from a false belief. This shows how the relationship between what one knows and how it affects them is important for classifying pleasure as false or true. " I then put the citation in the article that helped me formulate this information.

I am adding this information to the lead to further explain my example, in light of peer review:

In this example we would say that this person is experiencing false pleasure meaning that it is based off a false premise. This is not claiming that the person isn't experiencing the feelings we associate with pleasure.

Content added to classical philosophy section:
I also added Wiki-links to truth value and existence.

When Plato describes false pleasure he defines it in two different ways. The first way is sometimes called the propositional sense of falsity. In this way of looking at falsity of pleasure the truth value of the statement does not affect the fact that the statement is still a statement. The other way Plato uses falsity when looking at pleasure is in the alienans sense. When looking at falsity in this way we are explaining something as being "fake". In this use of the term falsity the thing we are talking about is in question of existence.

Content added to vain pleasure section:
False pleasure is not to be confused with vain pleasure. The difference is that vain pleasure is when someone feels pleasure from something that others would find morally wrong for them to get pleasure from. Mean while false pleasure is just based off of false beliefs regardless of the moral outlook on the source of pleasure. An example of a vain pleasure would be if a person found pleasure in finding out that someone they hate was tortured. This would only count as a false pleasure if the person was not indeed tortured.

Added wiki-link to morally.

Peer Review Response:
The edits that have been suggested by my peer were to further explain the example I have added to the lead and to add examples to better explain the content I have added to the classical philosophy section. I plan on doing these edits to better describe the information I have added. I think this feedback was helpful in reminding myself that philosophy is a very difficult and abstract subject and it is important to make topics clear for the audience I am writing for. To make my writing more universally understandable is something I plan to work on.
