What is the difference between Act and Rule Utilitarianism?
A Rule Utilitarian will think about the consequences of an action and if its positive will apply the same rule each time in the future. Whereas, an Act Utilitarian will weigh up the outcomes of each decision and its outcomes separately every time.
