Abstract

Besides simple apprehension and judgment there is a third operation of reason belonging to the intellective power, not as intellect, but properly as reason. This is discursive reasoning.1 It is described as the motion of the intellect passing from one thing known or considered to another:

Ratiocinativa est nostra consideratio quando ab uno considerato in aliud transimus. ... Ratiocinatio autem est quidam motus intellectus transeuntis ab uno in aliud.2

Ratiocinari autem proprie est devenire ex uno in cognitionem alterius.3

Est enim actus rationis quasi quidam motus de uno in alterum perveniens.4
