Noimetics

Join Dr. Eric Maisel as he presents noimet­ics, a brand-new phi­los­o­phy that takes as its start­ing point the human expe­ri­ence of meaning.

Derived from noima, Greek for mean­ing, noimet­ics is an inte­gra­tive phi­los­o­phy that stud­ies human sub­jec­tiv­ity, human aims, human values—the range of human experience—and the part that mean­ing plays in our expe­ri­ence of life.

Although among the most impor­tant of human phe­nom­ena, mean­ing is also among the most dif­fi­cult to “get a han­dle on.” This helps explain why it is so rarely stud­ied. Stu­dents of noimetics—noimetists—are engaged in pre­cisely this study.

Noimetists take as their field of inquiry mean­ing in its var­i­ous aspects: mean­ing as a psy­cho­log­i­cal expe­ri­ence, mean­ing as an idea, mean­ing as an eval­u­a­tion, and mean­ing as a poignant human chal­lenge.  They exam­ine ques­tions like, “How much mean­ing does a human being require?”, “Is mean­ing over­rated, under­rated, or both?”, and “Does mean­ing trump value or does value trump meaning?”

You may think of your­self as an exis­ten­tial­ist, a Bud­dhist, a Chris­t­ian, an athe­ist, a human­ist, a Jew, a post­mod­ernist, spir­i­tual, or some eclec­tic mix­ture of many themes, threads, and tra­di­tions. Noimet­ics takes its place among the many tra­di­tions and lays claim to a sin­gu­lar focus on the human expe­ri­ence of mean­ing. If this focus inter­ests you, come learn more!

The best way to learn more about noimet­ics is to take Dr. Maisel’s class Noimet­ics: Bring Mean­ing to Life! with the Acad­emy for Opti­mal Liv­ing. This class, which com­mences Novem­ber 2, 2011, pro­vides a strong ground­ing in the art, prac­tice and phi­los­o­phy of noimet­ics. You can enroll now.

Become a stu­dent of mean­ing and rad­i­cally improve your life. Noimet­ics is not just a phi­los­o­phy, it is the basis for a way of life that may appeal to you greatly and may match your vision of how life ought to be lived. If this pos­si­bil­ity intrigues you, please take a look at Noimet­ics: Bring Mean­ing to Life!
