would you class the phrase ' disordered reason' as autoantonymical?

Thank you for your help

I don't think either of these words has multiple meanings in so far that these meanings are the reverse of the words' other meanings.
as far as I know it would have to be something along the lines of "impregnable",etc.

So what is the technical term used to describe a phrase such as 'disordered reason'?

Thanks

I'd say it's an oxymoron
like "realistic fantasy", " rehearsed improvisation"
but of course that's without any background information
hope this helps.
