anhedonically as contrasted to hedonically:
• ‘hedonism: of, pertaining to, or involving pleasurable or painful sensations or feelings, considered as affects [emotions, moods]. Spec. hedonic tone, the degree of pleasantness or unpleasantness associated with an experience or state, esp. considered as a single quantity that can range from extreme pleasure to extreme pain’. (Oxford Dictionary). Hedonic Tone: An instinctual and thus affective hedonic attraction/ aversion discrimination underpins each and every feeling-thought-action which all feeling-beings manifest whenever ‘being’ itself (‘me’ at the core of ‘my’ being) is present-to-itself as an affective/ psychic ‘presence’ within. Vis.:
Put succinctly: every feeling-being’s experience or state of being – including that feeling-being’s emotions, passions, moods, sentiments and, thus, affectively-tinged and/or emotionally-driven thoughts – has hedonic tone (a degree of affective pleasantness or unpleasantness/ a degree of affective pleasure or displeasure). For instance:
As a matter of historical interest: the earliest record on the topic of hedonic-tone, which predates the above 1899 publication by millennia, is none other than what is known in the buddhavacana (as per the Theravādan Pali Canon) as ‘vedanā’ (approx. pron.: vay-duh-nar) or ‘vedanā-khandha’. According to Prof. James Baldwin (‘Dictionary of Philosophy and Psychology’, 1905) it was Prof. Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) who first coined the term hedonic-tone (translated from German, ‘Gefühlston’; approx. pron.: gar-fools-torn). ‘For many centuries, Heliocentrism was countered with the apparent common sense view that, if the Earth were spinning and moving around the Sun,
people and objects would tend to fall off or spin out into space; an object dropped from a tower would fall behind the tower as the latter rotated with the Earth and
would land to the West; and so on. A response to these objections required much better understanding of physics. [Dictionary Definition]: ‘the herd instinct: gregariousness and mutual influence as a psychological factor. [from Latin gregārius, from grex, greg- ‘a flock’ + -ous]’. (Oxford English Dictionary).’ (Oxford Dictionary). hive mind (n.): 1. a notional entity consisting of a large number of people who share their knowledge or opinions with one another, regarded as producing either uncritical conformity or collective intelligence; [e.g.]: “But how does a modern government control the hive mind without television and radio?”; “The hive mind is the biggest problem with markets”; 2. (in science fiction) a unified consciousness or intelligence formed by a number of alien individuals, the resulting consciousness typically exerting control over its constituent members; [e.g.]: “there is a Borg Queen who controls the hive mind”; ”The Doctor’s race to Oswin brought him to a room full of Daleks, but Oswin hacked into their hive mind and deleted any knowledge of the Doctor”. ~ (Oxford English Dictionary). [Dictionary Definition]: ‘howler (colloq.): a glaring blunder’. Oxford Dictionary The Third Alternative (Peace On Earth In This Life Time As This Flesh And Blood Body) Here is an actual freedom from the Human Condition, surpassing Spiritual Enlightenment and any other Altered State Of Consciousness, and challenging all philosophy, psychiatry, metaphysics (including quantum physics with its mystic cosmogony), anthropology, sociology ... and any religion along with its paranormal theology. Discarding all of the beliefs that have held humankind in thralldom for aeons, the way has now been discovered that cuts through the ‘Tried and True’ and enables anyone to be, for the first time, a fully free and autonomous individual living in utter peace and tranquillity, beholden to no-one.
