Summary:
Martin Buber's classic philosophy of dialogue, I and Thou, is at the
core of Kenneth Paul Kramer's scholarly and impressive Living
Dialogue: Practicing Buber's I and Thou. In three main parts,
paralleling the three of I and Thou, and focusing upon Buber's key
concepts --"nature," "spirit becoming forms," "true community," the
"real I," the "eternal Thou," "turning,"--and the two fundamental
dialogues--the "I-Thou" and the "I-It"--the book clarifies, puts into
practice and vigorously affirms the moral validity of Buber's
philosophy, with its extension to love, marriage, the family, the
community, and God, in the conviction that "genuine dialogue" will
effect better relations with one another, the world and God.
Well-researched, and replete with a glossary of Buberian terms,
practice exercises for true dialoguing, and discussion questions,
Living Dialogue emerges as an invaluable guide to I and Thou.
Highlights: · a lens through which to see and understand the
philosopher and his work anew · a must-read for undergraduates, as
well as relationship counselors, therapists, and general readers, who
will benefit from the work's clarity and ease of expression ·
