The reason without reason.

Explanation:

Feliciano de Silva was a spanish writer from the 16th century with a rather bombastic style. No one less than the great Miguel de Cervantes made fun of him. He and other contemporary writers especially disliked the reasoning without reason (sin razón) that was so abundantly present in the works of de Silva.
