    Key Terms

    Logical fatalism(the main philosophical position being discussed)

    Logically depends on(as used in philosophy of logic)
    When one idea can only work or be true if another idea is already true; the second idea is required for the first to make sense.
    Theological fatalism(the main argument being referenced)
    The idea that if God knows the future perfectly, then the future is already fixed and unavoidable—nothing we do can change what will happen.
    foundational structure(as used in political philosophy)
    The basic rules, institutions, and principles that a society is built on—like its government, laws, and economic system.
