The Open Future

This book launches a sustained defense of a radical interpretation of the doctrine of the open future. Patrick Todd argues that all claims about undetermined aspects of the future are simply false.

Patrick Todd received his PhD in 2011 from the University of California, Riverside. He has written about a range of philosophical issues, including free will and determinism, moral responsibility, time and omniscience, and the open future. In 2013, he took up a permanent position at the University of Edinburgh as a Chancellor's Fellow and Lecturer.
