Description: Fate remains central to many cultural outlooks, and in our age of conflict, climate change, and pandemic, it features conspicuously in debates about the future. A careful examination of this important idea is not only informative and intriguing but also timely. Fate and Life confronts the idea of fate head on and demonstrates that how we interpret and apply this concept can make it work for rather than against us.
Review Quotes: "Wide-ranging in scope, Fox makes theoretical ideas about fate accessible to the general reader. Chapters on the philosophical aspect of fate, and fate as a tool for social control are particularly intriguing." Richard J. White, Creighton University
