Buber, Martin

Buber, Martin
(1878–1965)
Jewish religious thinker and existentialist . Born in Vienna, Buber eventually settled in Palestine, and became the first President of the Israeli Academy of Science and Humanities. His most important work was Ich und Du (1922, trs. as I and Thou, 1970). In Buber's approach religion creates reciprocal relationships of dialogue between one subject and another, and these are sharply distinguished from objective relations between subject and thing. Buber interpreted religious experience in terms of perpetual encounter and dialogue with another personal subject, rather than in terms of knowledge modelled upon scientific knowledge of an extra ‘thing’ in the universe. The idea has been immensely influential in modern theology. See also religion, philosophy of.
