Reasoning

Form of reflection of human thinking on the nature or the relations of things, by which the known is drawn from the unknown in conformity with laws. Its logical form is expressed through definite interconnections or relations between judgments. Reasoning, concept and judgment are interconnected and promote each other. Judgment is the unfolding of contradictions among concepts, while reasoning is the unfolding of contradictions among judgements. Reasoning once again leads to new judgments, enriching and deepening the content of the concepts and forming a new concept. There are diverse forms of reasoning, and inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning and analogical reasoning are often used.
