Method, Volition, Self

A Method is a plan of Action that may or may not be successful in particular instances.  But, regardless of the outcome, an attempt at executing it has been made.  In other words, Method entails Volition.  Thus, entailed in the Epistemological methods Rationalism and Empiricism, and typically abstracted from their execution, is Volition, and its immediate expression--I Will.  Now, Volition might be neutralized, but not contradicted.  Thus, not only can I Will not be the object of Skepticism, it is, in fact, its subject.  So, the various notable Rationalist and Empiricist attempts to conceive the Self, e. g. Cogito, Bundle of Perceptions, etc., are misdirected from their textual outsets.
