Understanding J.S. Mill's Utilitarianism EP 2 General Remarks

In episode 2 we discuss Chapter 1 of Mill's book Utilitarianism. The chapter is titled "General Remarks," an introduction to the rest of the book. In the chapter, Mill discusses the different way in which "first principles" relate to philosophy and science; intuitive and inductive schools of ethical thought; the indispensability of utility-based principles; and two meanings of the word "proof."
