“Every thought and every emotion we have is purely biology, how can it not be?.... Do you really belive then that the more you know about any given subject the less 'vaule' is placed on it?” – lee
Hi lee…long time… I will assume your first question to be rhetorical. Of course, we know from experience, not just what we believe based upon what we have read/ seen, that emotion is of a different level than pure biology. While our study of biology does give us some information on aspects of emotion, such as hormones etc, it adds almost nothing as to the true nature of emotion itself.
