Paths to the Personal delves into the core of personal experience, intertwining Polanyi?s postcritical and Hopper?s theopoetic theories. Keiser explores the personal dimension in Augustine, Tillich, Freud, and others, examining how it shapes knowledge, language, philosophy's role in justice, and religious thought. While not centered on Quakerism, the author?s Quaker viewpoint underlies these inquiries, addressing the essence of knowing, language's function, and religious existence, offering an immersive exploration beyond conventional boundaries.
