I’m unclear on why you’d think there’d be a bright line distinction between “reason” and “rationality”. They seem to in most cases be usable interchangably in ordinary language.
The combination of inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning seems like a natural category—which I think needs a name. You could call this “logical reasoning”—but “reasoning” seems better to me. The term covers both logical and illogical reasoning—though of course the latter sort is not of very much use. What is doesn’t cover is perception, goals, or experimental generate-and-test.
If it is out there, better terminology would be welcomed.
