            common, and by which they test the truth of knowledge
            and the morality of actions.''

            philosophical significations.

        ``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.'' --Locke.

        organs of smell, sight, and hearing.
  
     Sense organ (Physiol.), a specially irritable mechanism by

        cells in or near which the fibers of the sensory nerves

     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.
