Acording to current view of science we are animated matter, and that is all to us there is. Not so in Buddhism. Even though Buddhism does not have a concept of a soul, and won't entertain its existence, the sentient being is not just a matter according to Noble Buddha.
In addition to form/body, a being comprises of 4 non material mental parts, namely:
feelings,
perceptions,
volition,
and consciousness.
All other mental states are result of interaction between any combination of the essential 4.
Mental aggregates just like matter are impermanent, just like the body they dissolve at death, there is nothing permanent about any being.
