WHAT DOES INTELLECTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

intellection

Nous

Nous, sometimes equated to intellect or intelligence, is a philosophical term for the faculty of the human mind which is described in classical philosophy as necessary for understanding what is true or real, similar in meaning to intuition. The three commonly used philosophical terms are from Greek, νοῦς or νόος, and Latin intellectus and intelligentia respectively. In philosophy, common English translations include "understanding" and "mind"; or sometimes "thought" or "reason". It is also often described as something equivalent to perception except that it works within the mind. It has been suggested that the basic meaning is something like "awareness". To describe the activity of this faculty, apart from verbs based on "understanding", the word "intellection" is sometimes used in philosophical contexts, and the Greek words noēsis and noein are sometimes also used. In colloquial British English, nous also denotes "good sense", which is close to one everyday meaning it had in Ancient Greece.
