Anscombe finit son essai à partir d'un récit de William James dans les 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺, récit issu d’une lettre que lui a envoyée un ami:

The term 'consequentialism' may also be due to Anscombe's MMP (1958): "the difference between old-fashioned Utilitarianism and that consequentialism, as I name it …"
The OED's earliest evidence for consequentialism is from 1969 (J. Cargile).
