Says the person who has uttered a sentence chock full of categories! The "what" of something is part and parcel of intelligibility. If reality is intelligible, and we are truly rational creatures that are able to know this reality, then this would entail that reality is divided into kinds that we can recognize. What those kinds are, and which things belong to which kinds, is a separate question, indeed the question in this article as it relates to living things.
