Featured:

False pleasure may be a pleasure based on a false belief (as of supposedly having come into money), or a pleasure deemed to be in some way false, perhaps by comparison with truer, realler, or higher pleasures.

Lacan maintained that philosophers should seek to "discern not true pleasures from false, for such a distinction is impossible to make, but the true and false goods that pleasure points to".
