Gnosiological

/ˌnoʊsiəˈlɑːdʒɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the study of knowledge, especially spiritual or mystical knowledge and how it's acquired.

Etymology

From gnosis (knowledge, spiritual insight) + -logical (relating to systematic study). A specialized philosophical and theological term.

Kelly Says

Gnosiological is one of those philosophical terms that sounds super complicated but simply means 'relating to the study of how we know things'—it's the sister of 'epistemological' but with a focus on mystical knowledge.
