This question needs to be directed to science. We see a human being with respect to his behaviour and character ethically, intellectually and aesthetically.

This is precisely a materialist philosophical claim. To the contrary, we have been told in the Quran that our composition is not just material, but we also have nafs. For Ghamidi sahab’s opinion in this regard please watch the following video from 1:08 to 9:55:

It’s right, but it’s about rooh(soul).There are other things e.g feeling happy. One says feeling happy isn’t anything just a rise of one chemical, so in that regard?

On the physical level it’s correct that different levels of these biochemicals cause mood changes.

So if one says that the whole human body including it’s life and instincts, these are materialistic and chemicals which causes and made them in the language of science, but as far as soul is concerned, that is an immaterial thing.
If above statement is right, so there are things like curiosity, our conscience( don’t feel good if we do an immoral thing) our aesthetic sense, which comes in the result of soul(and not present in the animals), if these are not fulfilled like if curiosity doesn’t get answer, so that feeling of worry because of curiosity is also because of chemicals – if above paragraph is right-?

The Creator of man has given him the innate knowledge of morality. and He told that it is his choice to be moral or immoral. So any play of chemicals will not affect the volition in term of moral and immoral.
