The method of Descartes is pretty much what Paul N. seemed to be trying
to avoid. 
Why my question about kind (a basic  analytical question) is being
avoided has nothing to do with the fact that inquiry doesn't ask such
questions.  In fact, Paul N's inquiry died because he refused to answer
my question and decided to get into a logical debate about the grammar
of P's Foreword and toss inquiry and analysis in the grave.
