The ability to intentionally employ logic by concluding both new and existing knowledge to seek the truth is the reason.

The ability to intentionally employ logic by concluding both new and existing knowledge to seek the truth is the reason. It is frequently seen as a defining trait of humans and is intimately related to uniquely humans.

The act of reasoning includes employing one's mind and is connected to thinking and cognition. The study of logic focuses on how people may construct logically sound arguments using formal reasoning.

The reasoning may be divided into various forms

1. Deductive reasoning
2. Inductive reasoning
3. Abductive reasoning

One of the ways that are thinking transitions from one thought to a similar idea is through reasoning, much like habit or intuition.

As a component of executive decision-making, the reasoning is intimately linked to the capacity for freedom and self-determination and the power to self-consciously modify one's objectives, beliefs, attitudes, traditions, and institutions.

Reasoning is an integral portion of most competitive and ability-testing exam patterns. Reasoning questions aid institutions in gauging problem-solving, critical thinking, and calculation and the ability to connect different elements and series prediction skills.
