Is Judaism the "Thinking Person's Religion"?

Although there many serious Jews who are "touchy feely", serious Judaism is a life of constant "examination". It is not the contemplation of a Yogi who meditates on a mandala etc. It is a Hitbonenut on G-d, Torah, Israel, Life; on this World and the Next World.
I haven't completed it yet, but I believe the Kuzari is perhaps the best examplar of this approach
