Introduction

Partially examined life, a philosophy podcast by some guys who ware at one point set on doing philosophy for a living. Focusing on utilitarianism for this week, we the podcasters read chapters one through five of jeremy bentham's an introduction to the principles of morals and legislation. The ground rules for our discussion are, number one, we do not assume that our audience knows anything about any of this. Number two, no gratuitous namedropping. Interested in ideas, notwith fetishizing a bunch of dead philosophers. If you have a point to make, just make it.
