  Emotions are socially generated responses to biological quality, to social
quality and intellectual quality.  They are realized intellectually AND
physio-chemically and since some people think that's "biology" there's no
arguing.

I could equally say that "in the MoQ, intellect is a biological response to
quality" because it's contained in my physio-chemical brain.  But I think
that would be a bit reductionistic, explaining complexity in terms of
chemicals.

The biological organism FEELS emotion, but the sociality of the man creates
it.

Well, I realize that for some people, this disagreement is settled with "See
annotation 141".  But if Galileo had listened to authority rather than his
own heart/mind, we'd all probably be in a pickle, eh?
