It seems to follow that a person who is a fatalist does not believe in free will, but this is not really so, for one may hold that for some mysterious (divine?) reason one also was bound to freely choose as one did.

Diderot wrote a funny and fine book about the problems involved in fatalism and free will, called "Jacques le fatalist et son maïtre", that tells the fairly picardic history of a nobleman and his servant, the servant a fatalist, but a very enterprising one, and the master a believer in free will, but with little personal enterprise.

Most people believe, it seems, that they have a free will, and reject fatalism, and those who don't reject fatalism seem to have often fairly strong religious convictions, to the effect that everything is in the hands of God. The only credible fatalist I ever met was a very intelligent woman married to a far less intelligent very humdrum man she did not want to divorce.
