Michael Allen Fox is professor emeritus of philosophy at Queen’s University, adjunct professor at the University of New England in Australia, and the author of several books, including Home: A Very Short Introduction and The Remarkable Existentialists.
“Wide-ranging in scope, Fox makes theoretical ideas about fate accessible to the general reader. Chapters on the philosophical aspect of fate, and fate as a tool for social control are particularly intriguing.” Richard J. White, Creighton University “Fate and Life addresses real-life concerns with how we live today and how our understanding of fate can help us navigate our complex world. Fox makes very good points about how fate can be misused or mis-thought if it allows individuals to shirk responsibility, especially when self-responsibility is needed in this age of pandemics.” Suzie Gibson, Charles Sturt University
