There was a great deal of effort during the Middle Ages to strike the right balance between faith and reason. Sinai and Athens. But after Kant, it seems that balance would have to find a different sort of synthesis. In spite of the Rambam's noble efforts in the Guide for the Perplexed, it is clear that that sort of balance is unsatisfying. (You might notice that when you read it.) This left me in a state of bewilderment until I discovered Leonard Nelson [founder of the second Kant-Friesian School] and Kelley Ross. The issue is that there are a great deal of questions in faith that do not get answers based on reason, nor on empirical evidence. Some seems answerable if you go with Rav Isaac Luria. That is if you put the simple explanation of the Torah into the world of Emanation and let this world be a poor shadow of that perfect world. But that still needs justification for it very existence. And justification that grasping it is possible by means other than reason or sense perception. And that is possible through the Kant Friesian School. See the paper by Peter Sperber
