Fate The Open Future

The Logical Argument 1)It’s either true that you will eat dinner tonight or it’s true that you won’t. 2)If it’s true that you will eat dinner tonight, then dinner is unavoidable. 3)If it’s true that you won’t eat dinner tonight, then not eating dinner is unavoidable. 4)[So] Whatever happens – dinner or no dinner – is unavoidable.

The Logical Argument W e shall say, therefore, of everything that happens, that it was going to be that way. And this is a comfort, both in fortune and in adversity. We shall say of him who turns out bad and mean, that he was going to; of him who turns out happy and blessed, that he was going to; neither praising nor berating fortune, crying over what has been, lamenting what was going to be, or passing moral judgments.

The Logical Argument

Space-Time Analogies 1. Space and time are both dimensions. 2. Space and time are both composed of atoms. 3. Space and time are both continuous. 4. Space and time both contain objects.

The “Block Universe” The Analysis of ‘North’: An utterance of ‘John is having dinner to the north’ at place P1 is true iff there is some place P2, such that (a) John is having dinner at P2 and (b) P2 is north of P1. The Analysis of ‘Will’: An utterance of ‘John will have dinner tonight’ at time T1 is true iff there is some time T2, such that (a) John is having dinner at T2 and (b) T2 is later than T1.

Summary 1) It’s either true that you will eat dinner tonight or it’s true that you won’t. The Law of Excluded Middle: Every statement is either true or false. Objection: ???
