Not Convinced Determinism Makes Sense of Moral Responsibility. Convince Me It Does

Dennett is a compatibilist. Harris is not. Try to keep that distinction clear.

The four points of the compass: 1) incompatibilism, 2) libertarian free will, 3) compatibilism, 4) hard determinist (aka hard incompatibilism).
