OK! So, I'm ready to settle on this (at least as a thumbnail):
*Method of Tenacity: private, arbitraryMethod of Authority: public, arbitraryMethod of Consensus: public, reasonedMethod of Science: public, reasoned and tested* One thing I'm a bit uncertain about which relates to the Method of Consensus (the a priori method) is related to some of Jeff D's musings on Kant in this regard, and my sense that a priori method may *become* a Method of Consensus, but begins with an individual's thinking (again, Hegel and Hegelianism, may be the best example). Any thoughts on this?
