Fatalism is widespread in our culture. It is present in some religious creeds, as in Calvinism with its idea of predestination or in Islam with its idea of kismet. I am not interested here in fatalism in that domain. What is of interest for me is that the metaphysical hypothesis of fatalism is not seldom represented among our philosophizing scientists and philosophers.
