* Man should seek what is pleasurable for its own sake and should not hold something that is deemed pleasurable to be either abnormal or shameful, nor should the pleasurable be confined to non-bodily things.
* Pleasure of any sort should viewed as the product of good behaviour but should be sought after and accepted simply because it pleases.
* Man is not a given, pre-determined nature; he does not receive his nature from an external source, but he alone produces what he is, and he is free to remake himself without constraint or limitation.
