Some people believe that everything is already destined to occur and that free will is an illusion (determinism and predeterminism); other people believe free will exists and that people have control over their own fates. Among these two dichotomous position lies a spectrum, varying from hard determinism to philosophical Libertarianism. One of the main proponents in the argument that both determinism and free will are valid postulates is the concept of Philosophical Dualism.

The answer to whether I (or you) believe in one or another depends on who is asked the question. There is no absolute or finite answer to such a subjective and ambiguous question.

What did Greeks believe in fate or free will?

The ancient Greeks had a complex relationship with fate and free will. They believed in the concept of fate, often represented by the Moirai or Fates, who determined the destinies of individuals. However, they also valued the notion of free will, as humans were seen to have agency and the ability to make choices that could influence their lives. This duality reflects a philosophical tension in Greek thought, where fate and free will coexist, often leading to tragic outcomes in their literature and mythology.
