Noology (No`ol´o`gy) derives from the
Greek words
νούς (
nous) "mind" and
λόγος, "
logos".
Noo-logy thus outlines a systematic study and (attempt at) organization of everything dealing with knowing and knowledge, i.e.: cognitive
neuroscience.
It 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.
