conceptive

Of the powers of the mind there be two sorts—cognitive, imaginative, or conceptive, and motive.

The conceptive powers want much more purification than the perceptive; and it is only as we purify the conceptive that we shall get the perceptive clear.

I have spoken of only the early stage of the activity of the conceptive faculties.

The conceptive faculty working with a perception of facts singularly narrow and imperfect, projected every idea boldly into the sphere of the actual.

Tell me, where has thy reason been all this time; nay, where hast thou kept thy conceptive faculty that thou hast been, bodily, in the devil's hands?
