non-propositional
This term is primarily used in epistemology and philosophy of mind to describe knowledge or experiences that lack a truth-value. It refers to the "felt" or "known" quality of an experience, such as the specific redness of a rose or the raw sensation of pain, which cannot be fully captured by a declarative sentence. It contrasts with propositional knowledge, which follows the structure of knowing that something is the case.
Because it describes a state of being or a quality of knowledge rather than a physical object, it is used almost exclusively in academic, technical, or philosophical discourse. It carries a neutral, descriptive connotation, serving as a precise tool for distinguishing between conceptual understanding and direct, qualitative experience.
