Chamiel describes the emergence of an approach to Jewish life that combines Torah with modern science, and how three major Jewish philosophers of the early 19th century chose this Middle Way. Analyzing the thought of Z. H. Chajes of Galicia, Poland; S. R. Hirsch of Germany, and S. D. Luzzatto of Italy, he examines what is common and what is distinct in their versions of the Middle Way against the background of their time, place, personal stories, teachers, and cultural heroes.
