Overview

Uncovers and examines a common structure to the arguments of Immanuel Kant, Soren Kierkegaard, and William James in regard to the issue of knowledge and belief. These three diverse philosophers from three eras have followed a similar route of non-theoretical justification of belief, stating that there is no theoretical knowledge of divine existence. The defense of religious belief, therefore, must be subjective.
