Sumario: | We typically think we have free will. But how could we have free will, if for anything we do, it was already true in the distant past that we would do that thing? Or how could we have free will, if God already knows in advance all the details of our lives? Such issues raise the specter of ""fatalism"".

Many of the pieces collected here build bridges between discussions. |
