Noology

Noology is a branch of philosophy that studies knowledge and how we think about the world. It's often called the “science of thought” because it looks at how our brains think and how that affects our behavior.Noologists observe how we go about solving problems, learning new ideas, and making decisions. They also look at how our mental processes influence our emotions and how those emotional experiences shape our decisions. They might study how beliefs, values, and experiences guide our decisions or determine why people think differently in different contexts. In short, noology examines the mental processes that shape the way we think and act.
