Which direction does the "more abstract" arrow point in? If Feser's article was a LW post then it would start off exactly the same way, but then go on like this:

Or when you consider bags of chemicals exclusively as instances of person, you ignore their genes, the wiring of their brain's left hemisphere, their cellular chemistry and so on. Confusion arises when you start thinking of the person as somehow more real than the collection of cells or molecules from which they have been abstracted.

So in order to better understand how non-reductionists think, should I start thinking of the "more abstract" thing as the one which is further from our everyday experience, as opposed to the one which leaves out more details?
