1. unknown, unheard of, forgotten
2. unknowable
3. unintelligible
4. not knowing, ignorant

αἴσθησῐς • (aísthēsĭs) f (genitive αἰσθήσεως); noun

2. Perception by the intellect as well as the senses
3. That which is perceived

Agnosthetic is an attempt to sense what is unknowable. An attempt to get out of my mind and feel digitally embodied in my writing. What does that mean? I'm not sure, but it feels right.

Agnosthetic is an independent publication launched in November 2025 by Dr. Natalie R. Sheppard as a place to share thoughts on comics and pop culture, pedagogy, and whatever else comes to mind.
