Most ancient philosophical, especially ethical, theories devoted a lot of attention to the
wellbeing of citizens in the ancient polis (πόλις), with the main goal of exploring how to achieve
happiness and comfortable, meaningful life. This was mainly explained by combining two
concepts – eudaimonia (εὐδαιμονία) – flourishing, wellbeing, a kind of happiness that entails life
led, ruled and guided by reason, and hedone (ἡδονή) – pleasure as a goal of life and ultimate aim
of philosophy. However, hedonism has often been juxtaposed with egoism, with the explanation
that the only thing people desire for their own sake is pleasure.
In the consumerist and materialistic society in which we live today, selfishness is common, especially
in cities – centres of human interaction in a very limited space, with limited resources, and shared
goods, which even brought us to “The Tragedy of the Commons” as put by some scholars.
Therefore, the main question posed in the presentation is how to eq...uilibrate this dichotomy of
seeking and achieving one`s own pleasure, without jeopardizing others` wellbeing in a city, that
is, achieving some kind of altruistic hedonism in a specific place.
One of the first steps might be demanding a careful and delicate holistic approach to production
and development of cities in order to integrate materiality of architectural forms and urban
infrastructure, with immaterial social, cultural and economic events that take place in a city. These events and behaviours strongly depend on the social reality and the context in which events take
place. Even though already with the urban uprising in the 1960s and 1970s scholars spoke about
just cities and right to cities, it is of utmost importance to reconsider these ideas once more.
