Estaban:
Your suggestion that we use a term like methanoia reminds me of a something
that Ted Sarbin wrote some time ago -- one of the ways in which the
schizophrenia concept acquires "scientific" credibility is its base in Greek
roots --- schizo and phrenia. Giving "disorders" latin-greco designators alludes
directly to the taxonomic structures used for plant and animal signifiers --
"very scientific."
I would not vote for using the term methanoia.
