A human being can be characterized as a composite of four fundamental, parallel, entwined realms of existence: biological, neurobiological, cognitive, and conscious.
Our physical existence can be accounted for in terms of four entwined realms of existence.This post is Part 1 of a series.
We have firsthand knowledge of the mental states we refer to as perceptions, memories, thoughts, and emotions, but lack awareness of processes in the brain that control digestion, respiration, heart rhythm, and much of our behavior. What is it about the mental stuff that makes it seem different from the rest of the physical stuff that constitutes who and what we are?
How, then, out of all this biological physicality, do we each come to exist as a being that knows it was born in the past, knows that exists now, and knows that it will someday die?. These have long guided philosophical musings, as well as scientific theories and research, about what it is to be a human being.
It’s relatively easy to separate biological beings from non-living matter. If something is alive, it is a biological being. Deciding which biological beings exist neurobiologically is also relatively straightforward. If an organism has a, it is a neurobiological being and, by definition, it exists neurobiologically. That narrows things down to animals, or at least most animals.
