                  and the morality of actions.[b8]
            (b) [bd]The faculty of first principles.[b8] These two are
                  the philosophical significations.
            (c) [bd]Such ordinary complement of intelligence, that,if

            (a) .
  
      {The inner}, [or] {internal}, {sense}, capacity of the mind
            to be aware of its own states; consciousness; reflection.
            [bd]This source of ideas every man has wholly in himself,
            and though it be not sense, as having nothing to do with
            external objects, yet it is very like it, and might
            properly enough be called internal sense.[b8] --Locke.
  
      {Sense capsule} (Anat.), one of the cartilaginous or bony

      {Sense organ} (Physiol.), a specially irritable mechanism by

            tactile corpuscle, etc.

      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.
