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 could 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 {u0093}fatalism{u0094}. This book collects sixteen
previously published articles on fatalism, truths about the future, and the relationship
between divine foreknowledge and human freedom, and includes a substantial introductory
essay and bibliography. Many of the pieces collected here build bridges between discussions
of human freedom and recent developments in other areas of metaphysics, such as philosophy
of time, Ideal for courses in free will, metaphysics, and philosophy of religion,
Freedom, Fatalism, and Foreknowledge will encourage important new directions in thinking
about free will, time, and truth
