Noology

Noology derives from the ancient Greek words νοῦς, nous or "mind" and λόγος, logos. Noology thus outlines a systematic study and organization of thought, knowledge and the mind.

Overview

In the Critique of Pure Reason, Immanuel Kant uses "noology" synonymously with rationalism, distinguishing it from empiricism:

[Philosophers have differed from each other with] respect to the origin of pure rational knowledge, and as to whether it is derived from experience, or has its origin independently of experience, in reason. Aristotle may be considered as the head of the empiricists, Plato of the noologists. Locke, who in modern times followed Aristotle, and Leibniz, who followed Plato (though at a sufficient distance from his mystical system), have not been able to bring this dispute to any conclusion.[1]

The Spanish philosopher Xavier Zubiri developed his own notion of noology.[2]

The term is also used to describe the science of intellectual phenomena. It is the study of images of thought, their emergence, their genealogy, and their creation.[3]

gollark: No, Go is. It broke containment.
gollark: ```Little known fact: GHC compiles code by literally emailing it to the sixth circle of Hell, so no one knows how it works, not even the Type-level Deacons and other curators of scripture. The email address was revealed to the Haskell committee one moonless night when they sacrificed Simon Peyton Jones in an unholy ritual that they reenact every year at the monadic.party. The present-day SPJ is actually a decoy hired by FP Complete to preserve the illusion that anyone in the community even has a clue as to how to build working software.```
gollark: Well, things with more *features* might be slower.
gollark: oh, functions!
