ahhhhh this is my WORD of ze whole year!
noetic (no-ET-ik) adjective
Of or relating to the mind or intellect.
[From Greek noetikos, from noein (to think), from nous (mind).]
"This `noetic Casanova,' as Gleick calls him (Richard Feynman), put science next to sex, where it belongs in alphabetical order. His books are full of brainy pranks and skirt-chasing honed to a science of its own."
Thomas A. Bass, Casanova of the Mind, Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman (book review), The Los Angeles Times, Nov 1, 1992
