A link to a video with Dr. Jacob Bronowski ("The Ascent of Man"), relevant to what I say about the human mind's capacity for imagination and transcendence:

No, logic is not our master, it is a tool for reasoning, thinking, created through evolution by humans, members of a highly social species, just as mathematics is created by the embodied human mind. We need new rules of logic, based on the comparatively new and autonomous science of biology. We need new philosophy - philosophy of biology. Biology is not covered by the existing philosophy of science, which is mainly philosophy of physics.
The book is "What Makes Biology Unique?" by Ernst Mayr
