The present book explores contemporary Jewish thinkers who have adopted the dialectical approach, an integrated approach towards the tension reason and religion. Some of these thinkers maintain that the tension can be mended. Others think that the dialectic is inherently irresolvable, a view reminiscent of the medieval ¿dual truth¿ approach.
