We know, scientifically, that our thoughts and feelings come from chemical interactions in our brains, but we consider this a, for the most part, irrelevant detail. Our own experience of ourselves as thinking, feeling, <em>willed</em> agents overrides that, and we see our behaviors and relationships as persons as the important part, and the fact that we really just have a series of chemical reactions that undercut that notion a minor detail.
