Counterfactual Conditionals

Counterfactual Conditionals is a type of conditional statement that expresses a hypothetical proposition about what would have been the case under non-actual, counterfactual circumstances, distinguished from indicative conditionals by its dependence on possible worlds that differ from the actual world in specified, often causally or temporally antecedent, conditions.
