Ways of Knowing

[F]or those with a passion for in depth knowledge of Kierkegaard's epistemological views, Piety's book is full of careful analysis.

~The Review of Metaphysics

A pioneering, comprehensive treatment. Piety brings a wonderful set of tools to the project: philosophical insight and clarity, a formidable knowledge of both Kierkegaard’s writings and the relevant secondary literature in several languages, and expert knowledge of the Danish language.

~C. Stephen Evans, University Professor of Philosophy and Humanities, Baylor University

A model for Kierkegaard research and philosophical understanding of his authorship... It will dominate the study of Kierkegaard’s epistemological views for years to come.

~Robert L. Perkins, Editor, International Kierkegaard Commentary

The first full-length study of Kierkegaard’s epistemology in English, this thorough and careful study combines philosophical sophistication and a deep familiarity with Kierkegaard’s works. Written in a clear and lively style, this book will be of great value to anyone with a serious interest in Kierkegaard’s philosophy.

~Anthony Rudd, Associate Professor of Philosophy, St. Olaf College, and author of Kierkegaard and the Limits of the Ethical

Ways of Knowing is the first comprehensive account of Kierkegaard's epistemology in English, and it is one of only three books on the topic in any language.... Piety offers powerful vision of the way that faith creates a space for subjective knowledge, which is inherently prescriptive, transformative, and inseparable from an entire way of life. This book certainly deepens our appreciation of Kierkegaard's thought, and there is no doubt that Piety's work will be a touchstone for years to come.

~R. W. Fischer, University of Illinois at Chicago, Theological Book Review

A masterfully researched analysis of Kierkegaard's oeuvre.
