Perhaps so, but this view nevertheless does not deal with the hard problem very well, and so despite explanatory strengths that may come with the emergentist view, the fact that this view has no conceivable (atm) solution for the hard problem while other views regarding the mind do (apparently) suggests that perhaps we may need to reconsider the soundness of this view.
In my opinion, the hard problem is like a Cosmos that had no beginning. It's a paradox, and one that may simply be unknown and unknowable, but, nevertheless, at the same time it's reality. I cannot comprehend Broca's Aphasia, and yet, numerous examples of such are occurring each and every day. One cannot experience the loss of language while at the same time articulate what it feels like not being able to speak or comprehend speech.
