In other cases the interaction among the parts is not in this way just a matter of summation. Chisholm asks us to compare two cases. In Case 1, I take pleasure in what I take to be Smith’s pleasure. In Case 2, I take an equal amount of pleasure in what I take to be Jones’s pain. So here we are comparing two instances of pleasure. Imagine that they are alike in what we may call the “raw amount” of pleasure involved. They differ in that one is pleasure in something good whereas the other is pleasure in something bad. Chisholm stipulates that the objects of these pleasures (Smith’s pleasure and Jones’s pain) are “intentional objects” — I take them to be happening, but I may be mistaken. Maybe they are just figments of my imagination.
