The normative status of an action depends on its consequences according to consequentialism. The consequences of the actions of an agent may include other actions by this agent. Actualism and possibilism disagree on how later possible actions impact the normative status of the current action by the same agent. Actualists assert that it is only relevant what the agent "would" actually do later for assessing the value of an alternative. Possibilists, on the other hand, hold that we should also take into account what the agent "could" do, even if she wouldn't do it.
