“What Would Martin Buber Do? The I-Thou Principle and Moral Action”
Martin Buber, the German-Jewish existentialist philosopher and formulator of the ‘I-Thou Principle,’ certainly had his fingers in a lot of pieces of scholarly and intellectual pie. During his lengthy career, Buber wrote about Hasidic folklore, Asian thought, mysticism, pacifism, the Holocaust, Israeli politics, interfaith relations, and various other social and psychological applications of his dialogical philosophy. However, Buber’s ideas were controversial, and often misunderstood. So what did Buber really say? And is any of it relevant to today’s social and ethical problems?
