Opis

This volume brings a range of perspectives to bear on the writings and thought of Martin Buber (1878-1965). The purpose is to explore new perspectives on Buber and on themes and issues on which he had something to say that continues to engage us. The sixteen essays are grouped in six parts, roughly proceeding in the chronological order of Buber's work, reflecting shifts in his preoccupation and changes in his orientation.
