Description
This book explores the philosophy of Martin Buber through the lens of his personal relationship with Maurice Friedman. From their initial meeting in 1950 to Buber's death, Friedman draws extensively on their correspondence to reveal the development of Buber's thought on dialogue and the human experience.
The author weaves together a chronology of Buber's life, including his visits to America, his wife's passing, and his time in Jerusalem. Through this narrative, Friedman sheds light on Buber's "I-Thou" theory of dialogue and "I-It" theory of monologue, offering insights into the nature of human connection.
Intimate and meditative, this book provides a unique perspective on the intellectual friendship between two extraordinary thinkers. It is an exploration of how their relationship influenced Buber's philosophy and vice versa.
