"Richard Taylor's paper "Freedom, Determinism and Fate" explores the necessity for society to adopt a view of Fatalism.

"If two-way communication across time is possible then it must be possible to know in advance what one will do and what will happen. If so, Taylor's story of Osmo could be realized- fatalism is unavoidable." It is believed by many that time travel is physically possible. Such a belief brings with it a plethora of paradoxes, and importantly, brings into question conceived notion of human freedom. However as Aubrey Townsend, in his paper "Time …

…that life and nature have to offer". However without curtailing effect of advance foreknowledge on our process of deliberation, I do not see any sufficient reason to abandon our status as free agents to the doctrine of fatalism.
