Etymology

From Ancient Greek νόημα (nóēma, “concept”, “idea”, “perception”, “thought”).

Meanings

  1. The perceived as perceived
    • "How is it that the noema can be both a sense and the intended objectivity itself? Husserl distinguishes three moments in the noema: the thetic characteristic (noematic correlate of the act-quality), the 'noematic' sense (the assimilation of the act-matter into the newly conceived intentional content), and the determined X (the "innermost moment" of the noema). 2003, Donn Welton, The New Husserl:
  2. That which is perceived in the noesis/noema duality
  3. (rhetoric) An obscure and subtle speech.
