Explicitia

Explicitia is a term that has appeared in various philosophical and theological contexts, often referring to a state of being made clear or evident. In some philosophical traditions, it can denote the direct apprehension of truth or understanding, where an idea or concept is not merely inferred but directly perceived or recognized. This contrasts with implicit knowledge or understanding, which is present but not consciously articulated or readily accessible.

The concept of explicitia can be found in discussions concerning knowledge acquisition and the nature of consciousness. For instance, when a person moves from having a vague intuition to a clear and precise understanding of something, they have achieved a state of explicitia regarding that subject. This transition often involves articulation, definition, or the formation of a distinct mental representation.

In certain theological discussions, explicitia might relate to the clarity with which divine truths are revealed or understood. It could imply a direct encounter with the divine or a clear understanding of religious doctrines that were previously only implicitly understood or believed. The term, though not widely used in contemporary everyday language, carries a nuanced meaning related to the act of making something manifest and understandable.
