anoesis \an-oh-EE-sis\, noun:
A state of mind consisting of pure sensation or emotion
without cognitive content.
"Normally, on my
long-distance walks, anoesis descends within a few miles: the mental tape loop
of infuriating resentments, or inane pop lyrics, or nonce phrases gives way to
the greeny-beige noise of the outdoors".
-- Will Self,
Psychogeography
