In psychology and philosophy, a state of consciousness without thoughts or cognitive content; pure awareness without cognition.
From Greek an- (without) + oesis (thinking, cognition) + -is (noun suffix). Describes consciousness without active thought.
Meditation practitioners spend years trying to achieve anoesis—a state where you're fully aware but your mind stops its constant chatter. It's the mental equivalent of a computer running but with no programs open!
