Talk:John Rawls

Possessive form of name
Is there any consensus on the correct form of "Rawls" in the possessive? Not that it is a major issue; however, I wonder if there is any definitive answer since both "Rawls'" and "Rawls's" are used within this article and other publications alike. RyanQuinlan (talk) 19:57, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Why is editing of this reverted? It seems a bit - um... quirky? to have two different possessive forms within an article. I personally don't really care which form is decided on, but I really do think it should be consistent within the page. TMagen (talk) 12:23, 2 September 2014 (UTC)


 * "Rawls's" is more common in academic philosophy, although it may depend on the editing convention of publishers and journals.50.191.21.222 (talk) 00:55, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

I have described Rawls's practice of Instrumental and value rationality in the article so named. I invite comments.TBR-qed (talk) 20:35, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Stutter
I have been told on occasion that I stutter, however I am not a stutterer. Casual speech which may involve stuttering does not mean that one is a stutterer, I just found a audio of a lecture by Rawls in 1984 and there is no trace of a stutter. 98.4.124.117 (talk) 19:45, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
