Actualize(as describing what power someone has): To make something real or bring it into existence; to turn a possibility into reality.
Anselmian omnipotence(as used in philosophy of religion and theology): A definition of all-powerfulness created by the medieval philosopher Anselm, which traditionally means having the power to do anything that is logically possible. Anselm argued that a truly all-powerful being must be perfect in all ways.
Motivational constitution(as used in philosophy of action and ethics): The deep-seated desires, drives, and values that make someone want to do certain things. It's like the internal programming that shapes what someone is motivated to pursue or avoid.
agency(Used to assess whether switching the trolley is deontologically prohibited.): A morally relevant sense in which an agent is the direct cause of harm, invoked in deontological constraints; its absence removes a deontological bar to acting.
