Some writers like to distinguish noumena from phenomena. Although my dictionaries differ in their definitions, the definitions that captured my imagination came from the World Book: Phenomenon: that which is captured through the senses. Noumenon: that which is captured through thought. --Barry Kort "I don't entertain ideas. Ideas entertain me."
