The differences between rule and act utilitarianism are as follows: the act utilitarian only considers the results or consequences of a single action whereas the rule utilitarian considers the consequences that result of following a rule of conduct. Let's take a simple example to make this clearer.
Utilitarianism believes that it is not the fault of any creed, but of the complicated nature of human affairs, that rules of conduct cannot be so framed as to require no exceptions. There is no ethical creed which does not temper the rigidity of its laws by giving a certain latitude, under the moral responsibility of the agent, for accommodations to peculiarities of circumstances. Utilitarianism, like all moral doctrines, recognizes unequivocal cases of conflicting obligations.
