@astrobassist whoops I meant to say the space that science "elbows out" in the sake of human agency. What I mean by that is that Dennett is saying that science's account of human agency may be limiting in some senses, but empowering in others.
Dennett explores what science has to say about placing the limits on human agency (through determinism), but also the space "elbows out" in the sake of human agency, shining a positive but not overly optimistic light on the human situation.
Do we need to feel like we have agency in order to have it?
