Description: For sale are I and Thou and Between Man and Man by Martin Buber, Austrian-Jewish and Israeli philosopher 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 . I and Thou – 1929. 1958 Collier Books 1987. Translated by Ronald Gregor Smith. One of the major themes of the book is that human life finds its meaningfulness in relationships. Buber explains that humans are defined by two word pairs: I–It and I–Thou. The "It" of I–It refers to the world of experience and sensation. I–It describes entities as discrete objects. It can be said that "I" have as many distinct and different relationships with each "It" as there are "Its" in one's life. Fundamentally, "It" refers to the world as we experience it. By contrast, the word pair I–Thou describes the world of relations. This is the "I" that does not objectify any "It" but rather acknowledges a living relationship. I–Thou relationships are sustained in the spirit and mind of an "I" for however long the feeling or idea of relationship is the dominant mode of perception. Between Man and Man – 1947 Macmillan Company 1975. Translated by Ronald Gregor Smith. Book collects five essays by Buber meant to fill out and apply what was said in I and Thou and clarify the issues discussed.
