In Defense of Ockhamism Bibliography (compiled by Patrick Todd) IndexWe 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"". 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 discussionsFree will and determinismFate and fatalismFree will and determinism.Fate and fatalism.149/.8149.8Fischer John Martin1952-746133Todd Patrick1983-1680344MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824879203321Freedom, fatalism, and foreknowledge4049021UNINA
