Here's an argument against Hedonistic Moral Realism:
Premise 1: For hedonistic moral realism to be true moral realism as a whole has to be capable of being true.
Premise 2: Moral realism as a whole is only true if the foundation of moral values is something mind-independent.
Premise 4: According to hedonistic moral realism the foundation of moral values is pain and/or pleasure.
Premise 5: Neither pain nor pleasure is something mind-independent.
Conclusion: Hedonistic Moral Realism is false.
