To think, in a philosophical use as yet somewhat limited, designates
the higher intellectual acts, the acts preëminently rational; to judge;
to compare; to reason. Thinking is employed by Hamilton as
"comprehending all our collective energies." It is defined by Mansel as
"the act of knowing or judging by means of concepts,"by Lotze as "the
reaction of the mind on the material supplied by external influences."
