I was waiting for the next instalment, but it doesn't seem to be
forthcoming....

I think one problem is that compatibilists and incompatibilists
sometimes talk past each other, since the former are discussing
voluntary behaviour and the latter are discussing origination. This
review by Galen Strawson of Dennett's book 'Freedom Evolves' makes the
point:

I also found this interview with Strawson interesting -- maybe because
I largely agree with him. :>)
