R. Melvin Keiser, Professor Emeritus of Religious and Interdisciplinary Studies, Guilford College, Greensboro, North Carolina, USA, is a member of Swannanoa Valley Friends Meeting, and has been co-director with his wife, Beth, of the Quaker-based Common Light Meetingplace in the Asheville, North Carolina area. He lives in Black Mountain, NC.
In this age of electronic noise, political antagonism, and general discontent, where can one find guidance to coherent living that matters? Mel Keiser provides the reader with a menu of thinkers who provide such guidance from distinct but largely compatible perspectives. Michael Polanyi's post-critical philosophy, with its emphasis on the tacit dimension, plays the leading role in Keiser's constructive thought. But Keiser seasons his thought with such additional influences as Augustine's reflections and confessions, Merleau-Ponty's notion of figure and ground, H. Richard Niebuhr's responsible self, Paul Tillich's dimension of depth, the Quaker practice of silence, and Stanley Hopper's substitution of imaginative theopoiesis for the overly rigid and objectivist categories of much theology. Paths to the Personal delivers to the spiritually hungry a delicious feast of peaceful promise.--Walter B. Gulick, author of Recovering Truths: A Comprehensive Anthology of Michael Polanyi's Writings
