“Want of understanding”, “folly”. ''Anoia ''is the name given by Plato and others to the lower Manas when too closely allied with Kâma, which is irrational (''agnoia''). The Greek word agnoia is evidently a derivation from and cognate to the Sanskrit word ''ajnâna ''(phonetically, ''agnyana'') or ignorance, irrationality, absence of knowledge. (See “Agnoia” and “Agnostic”.).
