J.S Mill Utilitarianism Episode II: Learning the Greatest Pleasures

In this episode we cover sections I and II of J.S Mill's essay "Utilitarianism". We discuss the definition of Utilitarianism, what constitutes gradations of pleasure, and how he envisions people would know how to seek pleasure. This is a dense episode that gives an overview to J.S Mill's most important contributions to the pleasure-pain principle of ethics.
