During the last few years, rivalry between advocates of conservative and critical approaches to understanding Israeli society has reached new heights as the critical approaches have acquired greater currency and influence, and their principal targets, Shmuel Eisenstadt and his colleagues Moshe Lissak and Dan Horowitz at the Hebrew University have drawn closer to retirement.1 With the publication in the previous issue of Israel Studies of Moshe Lissak's defense-cum-counterattack, the debate has finally reached maturity. Instead of having to content ourselves with ritualized confrontations staged within the halls of academe, or vituperative exchanges in the mass media, it is now possible to engage in a two-sided scholarly debate. The disinterested reader—if there are any left—can form his or her own opinion, and the interested parties, myself included, can use the discourse we know best to justify our positions and try to confront our opponents
