Hi! Following our last episode about determinism, we are talking about fatalism in this one! And we mean logical fatalism, which is illustrated by Aristotle's sea battle argument. We explain what this argument is and its main counters. We also try to show the difference between determinism and fatalism. Hope you enjoy this lesson and we look forward to next time!
