Solution

The statement seems to be a mix of true and false statements, but without a specific question, it's hard to provide a proper answer. However, I can clarify each point:

a. Ethical hedonism is the idea that all people have the right to do everything in their power to achieve the greatest amount of pleasure possible to them. It is also the idea that every person's pleasure should far surpass their amount of pain. It's not necessarily about sacrificing one's pleasure for others.

b. Psychological hedonism is the idea that humans are driven by their desires and seek pleasure and avoid pain. It doesn't mean always taking sadistic pleasure.

c. Epicurus did classify desires into three types: natural and necessary, natural but not necessary, and neither natural nor necessary.

d. Epicurus did not believe in maximum utility for maximum people. This is more related to utilitarianism. Epicurus focused more on individual pleasure and tranquility.

e. Given the above clarifications, this option could be considered true as none of the options fully accurately represent the concepts they are discussing.
