Martin Buber - Religious & Philosophical Works (23 books)

MARTIN BUBER (1878-1965) was an Austrian-born Jewish philosopher and one of the paramount spiritual leaders of the twentieth century. He is best known for his philosophy of dialogue, a form of existentialism centered on the distinction between the I-Thou relationship and the I-It relationship.

Buber's appeal is vast -- not only is he renowned for his translations of the Hebrew Bible but also for his interpretation of Hasidism, his role in Zionism, and his writings in psychotherapy and political philosophy.
