Question

Hello and blessings,
I wanted to ask whether the Rabbi knows of other Orthodox thinkers (rabbis or otherwise) who engage in Jewish theology in a straightforward way (that is, making claims about the world rather than offering dogmas and arguments that wouldn’t persuade someone with even minimal independent thinking) who are worth reading in addition to reading the Rabbi’s thought in its various forms (here and in the books). If there are such people who even tend in more conservative / Hardal / Haredi directions than the Rabbi and the like, that would help twice as much.
I no longer remember where I read this, but I recall that you wrote that one of the aims of writing the trilogy was to make religious discourse more serious. My question is: where does such discourse already exist, even if only a little? Someone who comes to the Rabbi’s thought and wants to compare it with other positions, with actual arguments behind them that can really be discussed, in order to clarify his own views — who else can he listen to, if anyone?
(Of course, my words do not assume that there is nothing at all to learn from the classic and well-known rabbis, and obviously every claim should be examined on its own merits; it is just that they often do not provide this need when speaking about faith and the like.)
I hope this request is legitimate.
Thank you very much!
