\ifdefiningfootnotes \DeclareFixedFootnote{\fnDianoia}{DIANOIA. Commonly rendered "mind," "understanding," or "intellect," but more precisely the discursive, reasoning faculty — the mind's own calculation, moving step by step from premise to conclusion. In the patristic tradition this stands in contrast to NOUS, the mode of direct, unmediated perception or intellection. Where NOUS apprehends, DIANOIA reckons. } \fi
