Summary/Abstract: Challenged by the concept of pleasure(s), considered by Evanghelos Moutsopoulos as expressing one of the most important criteria and values of the human life, the paper deploys an analysis of pleasures as conditions of the (human) Being and also as “more-than-being”. Since the pleasures are feelings, these ones are caught as relationships of the consciousness with its internal and external environment. Therefore, the levels and dimensions of the consciousness light how and why the human consciousness creates meanings, articulated and transmissible, and how only accompanied by pleasures these meanings are produced in a solid way, the only one that assures the existence and development of the human being.
