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.
