[[Daniel Dennett]] is not a man to shy from grand philosophical pronouncements. Having declared the book closed on the Mind debate in {{br|Consciousness Explained}} (others are still offering odds) and having found beyond reasonable doubt for the Botanist in the case of Darwin vs. God in “{{br|Darwin’s Dangerous Idea}}", he now purports to settle the third of the great metaphysical questions: Do we have free will?
