William Dalrymple (historian)
In Platonism, dianoia (Greek: διάνοια) is the human cognitive faculty associated with the BC portion of the analogy of the divided line and related to discursive thinking about mathematical and technical subjects.[1] It stands in contrast to the immediate, cognitive process of intuitive apprehension or noesis.[2]
In Aristotle, dianoia is subdivided into theoretical knowledge (technē) and practical knowledge (phronēsis).[3]
