The Human Conclusion: The Physical Brain Hmm theres alot of good stuff in this
Then comes your emotional being, which allows you to feel emotion, empathy, and sympathy, allowing for the transcending of social life
I would argue that our emotional being does not transcend social life, social life is founded upon or emotions, love, sorrow, freindship, acceptance and unfortunately negative emotions are also prevalent in social life, fear, rejection, jealosy, hate and fustration. Perhaps we could say that our emotional being is mutually exclusive, you cannot have the two seperatly. So i would not say that our emotional being transcends or physical being. Maybe some examples are needed
-Depression can be caused by chemicals in the brain
-Sex is a meld of physical pleasure and love (hopefully)
-When one stubbs their toe it is immediately followed by fustration
-When one is nervous they feel sick in the stomach
However arguments could perhaps be made that our rational being can indeed transcend our physical and emotional being equally arguments can also be made that the rational being is as much inter conected as the other two forms of being
I might also advocate that wisdom can transcend even reason itself but this does not mean i am advocating religous transcendance
Last thing: i noticed some dualism present in your argument but i am not familiar with the arguments agaisnt dualism perhaps someone more knowledgeable than myself might help me in this regard.
