34 JEWS AND JUDAISM Now the representatives of traditional Judaism also stepped forth from their retirement, and took their place on the field of battle, like their op- ponents clad in the armor of modern culture. They arrogated to themselves the distinction of absolute correctness in matters of religious belief. They have since borne the name of ''Orthodox" (really neo- Orthodox) in opposition to the Reform party. The most eminent representatives of these two tendencies were Abraham Geiger (18
...10-1874) and Samson Raphael Hirsch (1808-1888). The one embodied the principles of progress, the other, those of ortho- doxy. Both were saturated with modern culture ; both were penetrated by profound love for Judaism ; both wanted to steer Judaism through the rough waters of the time, and give it a new and enduring form; both proceeded in their activity with intelli- gence, and learning, and depth of sentiment — yet the two arrived at almost antipodal goals.
Geiger's conception of Judaism was not of blind subjection to a precept, but of " a free development of inward moral strength, " which rather opposes adherence to established forms.
