Harris is a compatibilist in all but name
Harris and Dennett are very close to agreement: Harris agrees determinism and moral responsibility are compatible, agrees a system of law and justified punishment is compatible with determinism, and rejects libertarian free will and agent causation — so Harris is, in Dennett's view, a compatibilist in all but name.
