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:
"Nous étions sur la route... dans un petit chariot; la portière s’ouvrit et X, alias ‘’Baldy’’, tomba sur la route.

En somme, pour Anscombe:
"La connaissance de soi est la connaissance de l’objet que l’on est, de l’animal humain que l’on est."

Dans cette "dispute (…) sans fin et insoluble", Elizabeth Anscombe propose une "solution: 'je/moi' n’est en aucun cas un nom, ni aucune autre sorte d’expression dont le rôle logique est de faire référence"

Anscombe nous soumet une autre expérience de pensée, le pauvre Jones devenu tas de cendres - mais la boîte est vide!
"Que 'je' soit un nom ou un démonstratif, nous avons de la même façon besoin d’un 'concept' au moyen duquel il s’attache à son objet.

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).
