Help, I'm having a brain cramp.

So, if the most recent way of thinking about wyrd is to reject all ideas of paganism that have been affiliated with wyrd since Old English studies began, because there's no actual proof of wyrd in Anglo Saxon appearing in pre-Christian writings, this is a _____ method.

My first reaction is to say post-modern, but I'm sure that's not right. Empiricist?

BAH. 3 pages to go- I should just ignore this, and try to write this ___ section, then title it afterwards, but I can't because my brain is dumb, and won't let me proceed like that.

Help? I swear, I do know this. My brain is being stupid, and I still need to get some actual studying done today. *cries*

ETA: Thanks, numensule.

I know nothing of linguistics, but I'd call it empiricist, as empirical methods tend to rely upon science-esque theories created from evidence.


Mmmm...baconian.
