Does " to be philosophical in ways I do not yet understand" mean...?
Does " to be philosophical in ways I do not yet understand" mean "to express in philosophical ways, although I still don't understand the philosophical ways (thus I put in the form of philosophy)"?
Context:
"We are in reality diverse beings in that a single person is genetically not a single entity -- to be philosophical in ways I do not yet understand -- what does it mean to be a person if we are variable within?" says Williams, the study's senior author, and founding Director of the Center for Integrative Biomedical Sciences in iQBS. "What makes you a person? Is it your memory? Your genes?" He continues, "We have always thought, 'your genome is your genome.' The data suggest that it is not completely true."
