Description

I and Thou is a landmark work of 20th-century intellectual history that has had a profound impact on Western theology. Written by Martin Buber, this influential book brings together elements of modern German thought with the Judeo-Christian tradition to update faith for modern times.

The book presents Buber's groundbreaking philosophy, which posits that human beings can enter into deep relationships using their innermost being to form true partnerships. This approach contrasts with the common treatment of others as objects and the view of the universe as mere sensation, reflecting instead a dialogue between man and God.

Buber's work is ecumenical in its appeal, yet reflects the profound Talmudic tradition from which it has emerged. For Judaism, his writings have been revolutionary, shaking off parochialism and applying Jewish principles to contemporary concerns with great relevance.
