What is "metanoia"

1768, "penitence, spiritual conversion," from Greek metanoia "afterthought, repentance," from metanoein "to change one's mind or purpose," from meta- (see meta) + noein "to have mental perception," from noos "mind, thought."

n. 1 A fundamental (l en change) of (l en mind). 2 spiritual (l en conversion).

Metanoia (from the Greek , metanoia, changing one's mind) in the context of rhetoric is a device used to retract a statement just made, and then state it in a better way. As such, metanoia is similar to correction. Metanoia is used in recalling a statement in two ways—-to weaken the prior declaration or to strengthen it.

Metanoia is later personified as a figure accompanying kairos, sometimes as a hag and sometimes as a young lady. Ausonius' epigrams describe her thus: "I am a goddess to whom even Cicero himself did not give a name. I am the goddess who exacts punishment for what has and has not been done, so that people regret it. Hence my name is Metanoea."

Metanoia is a compilation album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, first released on 10" double- vinyl in December, 1998, in a limited run of 1000 copies. It is mostly made up of improvisations recorded during the Signify sessions, some of which were later shaped into songs. To help deter secondary- and black-market sales, the album was released on CD in December 2001 and re-issued again in 2006; it includes extra, previously released tracks from singles that were sequenced where they were extracted from the longform jams. "Metanoia I" became the basis for tour-only piece "Cryogenics," originally intended for Coma Divine but left out during mixing.

In a critical review on expose.org, the album has been described as "in every way the antithesis of “Stupid Dream”, and simultaneously every bit as brilliant". A special recognition is given to Chris Maitland and Colin Edwin who show " a masterful display of finesse and energy". The album review is finalized with the highest recommendation to listeners.

The original version of the CD has since been out-of-print. Copies of the original are considered to be quite rare and often go for a high price on online auctioning websites.

Metanoia, an Ancient Greek word (μετάνοια) meaning "changing one's mind", may refer to:

"Metanoia" is the special limited edition single release that was originally a b-side on MGMT's debut CD single " Time to Pretend". It was released August 18, 2008, available in 10" etched vinyl.

"Metanoia" was named "Song of the Day" on September 16, 2008 by Rolling Stone, describing it as a "14-minute opus, which ranges from Donovan-ish acid ballads to interstellar synth-powered dirges to falsetto-laden theater rock."

Metanoia, a transliteration of the Greek μετάνοια, is usually translated as repentance, for example in The King James Version of the Bible, and the verbal cognate metanoeo/μετανοέω is translated to repent. Translating metanoia as repentance has been deemed "an utter mistranslation."
