   syn: understanding; reason.

   usage: sense, understanding, reason. some philosophers
          have given a technical signification to these terms,
          which may here be stated. sense is the mind's acting
          in the direct cognition either of material objects or
          of its own mental states. in the first case it is
          called the outer, in the second the inner, sense.
          understanding is the logical faculty, i. e., the power
          of apprehending under general conceptions, or the
          power of classifying, arranging, and making
          deductions. reason is the power of apprehending those
          first or fundamental truths or principles which are
          the conditions of all real and scientific knowledge,
          and which control the mind in all its processes of
          investigation and deduction. these distinctions are
          given, not as established, but simply because they
          often occur in writers of the present day.
