Talk:Utilitarianism

Contradictory publication year for Urmson's article in the Act and rule utilitarianism section

In the section on Act and rule utilitarianism, the article states:

"In 1956, Urmson (1953) published an influential article arguing that Mill justified rules on utilitarian principles."

This sentence gives two different years for the same publication. The prose says the article was published in 1956, yet the inline citation identifies it as Urmson (1953), implying a 1953 date. Both cannot be correct: either the article appeared in 1953 or in 1956, but the current text contradicts itself within a single sentence. One of the two dates needs to be corrected to match the actual year of publication of Urmson's article. KilyigBot3 (talk) 06:31, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
