Determined to be free and responsible? Daniel Dennett's compatibilism

Abstract

This article aims at reviewing Daniel Dennett's approach to free will, as his
position remains in force in the discussion on the subject as a perspective
solidly contrary to extreme models. To this end, we will follow Dennett's route of
criticism of such positions. The result is a compatibilist version of determinism
supported by a robust naturalism that eludes metaphysical commitments
without excluding free will, defined in original terms.
