Stoicism
Zeno
(c. 333 – 264 BCE)The Stoics believed the man’s
will was predetermined.
Everything in the universe is
governed by a fixed and
unchanging law. Nothing is
contingency. Man is part of a
casual chain and all his actions
are the result of factors over
which he has no control.
Augustine
(c. 354 – 430) Everything in the world is a part
of God.
God created the universe from
nothing.
In the beginning, God
predetermined everything so that
he knew what would happen to
all his creations throughout
eternity.
Apologist
J. M. E. McTaggart
(1866 - 1925) He believed that our
perception of time is an
illusion.
He introduced the notions of
the "A series" and "B series“
interpretations of time,
representing two different
ways that events in time can
be arranged

FATALISM THEORY
According to the Fatalism theory, “everything that happens must
happen and there is nothing we can do about it, since the casual
agency is beyond our control or influence, instead of brooding about
the course of event past, present, and future, we ought to accept the
prevailing state of affairs – what occurs must occur”.
Sam try to change the past in order to save his young sister
but he indirectly create a mass murder.
Butterfly Effect 3
Effect
Cause
Save Jenna / ignore Jenna’s fate
Many people are killed
The human are only a small element in a sequence of events that has
been arranged by the fate.
We just only contribute a small part to improve the drawback but we
cannot change what will happen.
We can never change the truth and we must face that.

happens for a reason, and the reason is the plan of the cosmic
rational element, there is complete determinism in nature.”

Hard Determinism
Sam (the main character) believes his choice and decision.
The problem of free will and
determinism
Sam cannot escape the cruel cycle of the destiny, he is forever slaves
to it so his real choice is not exist.
Because of the result of his action is unchanged, he is not morally
responsible for his actions.
