Fate, Time, and Language: An Essay on Free Will

Fate, Time, and Language is a thought-provoking and insightful work by David Foster Wallace that delves into the philosophical controversy surrounding free will.

In this early work, Wallace critiques Richard Taylor's method of using six commonly accepted presuppositions to imply that humans have no control over the future.

Through his critique, Wallace reveals his skepticism towards abstract thinking and any school of thought that abandons traditional human verities.

The book presents Wallace's developing perspective on free will, along with his struggle to establish solid logical ground for his convictions.

With an introduction by James Ryerson and a critical biographical epilogue by Jay Garfield, this volume provides a comprehensive understanding of Wallace's philosophical investigations and their connection to his later fiction.
