Knowledge or understanding of life and living things gained through observation and study.
From Greek bio- 'life' and gnosis 'knowledge.' This rare scientific term combines two ancient Greek roots to describe knowing or recognizing living things, particularly in philosophical contexts about understanding life itself.
Biognosis is basically what Aristotle was doing when he collected and classified animals on the island of Lesbos—he was building knowledge about what life actually is rather than just describing it.
