- Summary:
- 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.
