The present book is a sequel to Ephraim Chamiel's two previous works The Middle Way and The Dual Truth--studies dedicated to the middle trend in modern Jewish thought, that is, those positions that sought to combine tradition and modernity, and offered a variety of approaches for contending with the tension between science and revelation and between reason and religion. The present book explores contemporary Jewish thinkers who have adopted one of these integrated approaches--namely the dialectical approach. Some of these thinkers maintain that the aforementioned tension--the rift within human consciousness between intellect and emotion, mind and heart--can be mended. Others, however, think that the dialectic between the two poles of this tension is inherently irresolvable, a view reminiscent of the medieval dual truth approach. Some thinkers are unclear on this point, and those who study them debate whether or not they successfully resolved the tension and offered a means of reconciliation. The author also offers his views on these debates.
