Abstract
Destiny could be a powerful force for humanity, a constant dilemma and quest since Classical Greece. This does not indicates having lack of responsibility or free will (libre albedrío) in decision making but marks the manifestation of independent acts that in its ineradicable structural moments go beyond one’s control, intentionality or comprehension, altering one’s path irremediably. One’s personal realities, beliefs and perceptions constitute visible and invisible circumstances (Sǿren Overguard, Husserl, and Heidegger on Being in the World, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, The Netherlands, 2004). Javier Marías’ novel Mañana en la batalla piensa en mí [Tomorrow at the Battle Think of Me] that centers on destiny as an unknown and incomprehensible force that shapes human actions.
