<p>"In the false world all ηδονη is false" (Adorno, Theodor W. Aesthetic Theory. Edited by Gretel Adorno and Rolf Tiedemann. Translated by Robert Hullot-Kentor. London: Continuum, 2004. p. 15.)</p>
<p>ηδονη = (hedonistic) pleasure</p>
<p>With thanks to Georgios Maragos for the hedonistic intensifier.</p>
