1. Fatalism

   Fatalism is a philosophical doctrine emphasizing the subjugation of all events or actions to fate. Fatalism generally refers to any of the following ideas: ⁕The view that we are powerless to do anything other than what we actually do. Included in this is that man has no power to influence the future, or indeed, his own actions. This belief is very similar to predeterminism. ⁕An attitude of resignation in the face of some future event or events which are thought to be inevitable. Friedrich Nietzsche named this idea with "Turkish fatalism" in his book The Wanderer and His Shadow. ⁕That actions are free, but nevertheless work toward an inevitable end. This belief is very similar to compatibilist predestination. ⁕That acceptance is appropriate, rather than resistance against inevitability. This belief is very similar to defeatism.
