WIKIPEDIA
The Greek
word Noumenon (νοούμενoν), plural noumena
(νοούμενα), is the middle-passive present participle
of νοεῖν (noein), "I think, I mean", which in
turn originates from the word "nous"
(from νόος,
νοῦς, perception, understanding, mind). A rough equivalent in
English would be "something that is thought", or "the
object of an act of thought".
The
noumenon
/ˈnuːmɨnɒn/
is a posited object or event that is known (if at all) without the
use of the senses.[1]
The term is generally used in contrast with, or in relation to
"phenomenon",
which refers to anything that appears to, or is an object
of, the senses
