The mind realizes three activities, besides many others, that are related to the genesis of consciousness: perception, comprehension, and ? (conception? conceptualization?). This latter activity is the superior faculty of aprehending directly the notion of "Good and Evil", "Just and Unjust", independently of comparison or analytical discrimination. Most people "judge" in the sense that Good or Well is everything that causes them pleasure or at least don't harm them, and Evil or Unjust is evrything that makes them suffer or that causes them harm. My question is: what is the name of that superior faculty that allows a person to evaluate things in an absolute manner?
