Samson Raphael Hirsch : the Neo-Orthodox, neo-romantic educator, and his approach of neo-fundamentalist identicality -- Interpretations of Hirsch's thought from the right and the left -- "Heavenly reward"-Samuel David Luzzatto's doctrine of divine -- Development of Halakhah : Luzzatto's evolving views -- The Peshat is one, because the truth is one : Luzzatto between -- Luzzatto and Maimonides : "accept truth from whoever speaks it" -- Luzzatto on theosophical Kabbalah : harmful invention with worthy -- Intentions -- Between reason and revelation: the encounter between Rabbi Tsvi Hirsch Chajes and Nahman Krochmal -- Hirsch's influence on religious Jewish philosophy in the twentieth century -- Hirsch's influence on Rabbi David Tsvi Hoffmann's commentary on the Pentateuch -- Hirsch's influence on twentieth-century Halakhic decisors -- The influence of German neo-orthodoxy on the young Rav Kook -- Luzzatto's influence on Umberto Cassuto's method of biblical interpretation -- Tolerance, pluralism, and postmodernism-a dialectic of opposites in Jewish thought in the modern era.
Summary: "This book explores three schools of fascinating, talented, and gifted scholars who absorbed into their thought the Jewish and secular cultures of their respective homelands. They include halakhists such as Rabbi Ettlinger and Rabbi Eliezer Berkowitz; Jewish philosophers from Isaac Bernays to Yeshayau Leibowitz; and biblical commentators such as Samuel David Luzzatto and Rabbi Umberto Cassuto. Running like a thread through the analysis of the different scholars, is the attempt to conciliate Jewish orthodoxy with a wish to connect with Western culture and philosophy and to accept the conclusions of scientific research. Among these attempts is Luzzatto's famous "dual truth" approach. This book is the sequel to the Ephraim Chamiel's previous book The Middle Way, which focused on the challenges faced by the members of the "Middle Trend" in nineteenth-century Jewish thought"-- Provided by publisher.
