Noetics
In philosophy, noetics is a branch of metaphysical philosophy concerned with the study of mind as well as intellect.
Philosophy
In ancient Greek and medieval philosophy, noetic topics included the doctrine of the active intellect (Aristotle, Averroes)[1] and the doctrine of the Divine Intellect (Plotinus).[2]
Other uses
Since the 1970s and the foundation of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, the term "noetics" has been adopted by several authors such as Christian de Quincey in Deep Spirit: Cracking the Noetic Code (2008) and Dan Brown in The Lost Symbol (2009), who write about consciousness and spirituality.
The Institute of Noetic Sciences describes noetic sciences as "how beliefs, thoughts, and intentions affect the physical world".
