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

Fate, Time, and Language is a thought-provoking and insightful critique of Richard Taylor's work on fatalism.

Wallace's thesis reveals his skepticism towards abstract thinking that negates more genuine and real human verities.

This volume edited by Steven M.

Cahn and Maureen Eckert, reproduces Taylor's original article and other works cited by Wallace, providing a comprehensive understanding of the developing perspective of this major novelist.

With James Ryerson's introduction connecting Wallace's early philosophical work to his later fiction themes, and Jay Garfield's critical biographical epilogue, Fate, Time, and Language is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, language, and human nature.
