REASONING
ratio (reasoning used in argument; e.g. eos ... qui ratione nulla vincerentur were convinced by no reasoning Cic. Tusc. 2 21; argumentatio = explicatio argumenti Cic. Partit. 13; rhetorical technical term: ratiocinatio (Cic.). To establish anything not merely by plausible reasoning but by strict demonstration non modo probabili argumentatione sed etiam necessaria mathematicorum ratione concludere (Cic. Fin. 5 4 9).

reasoning:
1. rătio: to be over-*come by no r., nulla ratione vinci, Cic. Tusc. 2, 21, 48: this line of r. will extend itself more widely, latius manabit haec ratio, ib. 2, 27, 66: see also below (3).
2. rătiōcĭnātio Cic. Inv. 1, 34, 57: and 37, 67: v.RATIOCINATION .
3. argūmentātio: in cases so plain is r. to be looked for? etiamne in tam perspicuis rebus argumentatio quaerenda? Cic. Rosc. Am. 35, 97: to infer not only by probable r. but by mathematical demonstration, non modo probabili argumentatione, sed etiam necessaria mathematicorum ratione concludere, id. Fin. 5, 4, 9.
4. disceptātio: forensic r.s, forenses disceptationes, id. de Or. 2, 41, 175. Phr.: rules of r., disserendi praecepta, id. Fin. 5, 4, 10: nicety of r., subtilitas disputandi, id. Brut. 8, 31: let us return to the quirks (subtle r.s) of Chrysippus, ad Chrysippi laqueos revertamur, id. Fat. 4, 6.
