  Martin Buber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martin Buber (8 February 1878 - 13 June 1965) was an Austrian-Jewish philosopher, translator, and educator, whose work centered around theistic ideals of religious consciousness, interpersonal relations, and community.

Buber had a multilingual education: the household spoke Yiddish and German, he picked up Hebrew and French in his childhood, and Polish at secondary school.

 Martin Buber on religiosity
Martin Buber In contrast to Abraham Heschel, Martin Buber grew up as a modern man. He was well-read, well-traveled, and influenced by Kierkegaard and the existentialist thought of his time.
So, while at first, Buber's placement of the individual in the center of the world, and his use of terms such as freedom, choice and individuality reminds one of a vocabulary used to describe the liberal individual that dominates present Western thought (namely, the "unencumbered self"), he could not be farther from that position.
Buber's "I and Thou"-relationship is one for the experience of which he prepares the reader, and it requires a first leap of faith, or courage, we shall say, to believe that it might be worth a try.

Buber, however, maintained a steadfast belief that the “security” Jews required was a spiritual one, a need that had evolved over ages of “insecurity” in Diaspora living, and could best be achieved through “a concrete transformation” of the individual and the community.
Though Buber championed non-violence all his life and initially underestimated both Hitler’s political support and his staying power, he wrote a long letter of 24 February 1939 in response to Gandhi, who counseled German Jews to continue to suffer quietly under Hitler, in part because he was convinced that “Palestine belongs to the Arabs”.
Buber had been friendly, no less so than he was to all his students, but somehow he had failed this particular fellow, who left disappointed and ended his life shortly thereafter.

 Judaism: Buber: Mysticism Without Loss of Identity - philosopher Martin Buber   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
It is not news that Martin Buber is a mystic.
That Buber calls such relationships dialogical when they are of high seriousness, relationships between an Ich and a Du, an "I" and a "Thou," is evidence that in Buber's sort of mysticism words are not overwhelmed by the mystical experience, and reason is not made shallow.
Buber's mysticism is conspicuous in emphasizing that the concrete situation of the individual must be retained in the high seriousness of the dialogical relationship.

 Martin Buber's I and Thou
Buber’s major theme is that human existence may be defined by the way in which we engage in dialogue with each other, with the world, and with God.
Buber argues that, although the I-Thou relation is an ideal relation, the I-It relation is an inescapable relation by which the world is viewed as consisting of knowable objects or things.
Buber contends that the I-Thou relation between the individual and God is a universal relation which is the foundation for all other relations.

Buber, it seems, understood the nature of the conflict more deeply than many of the political pragmatists who scorned him as being merely an unrealistic visionary.
In a speech in 1958 Buber, aged eighty, while affirming the factual reality of the State of Israel, referred to "the most pernicious of all false teachings, that according to which the way of history is determined by power alone.

 Martin Buber --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Buber's philosophy was centred on the encounter, or dialogue, of man with other beings, particularly exemplified in the relation with other men but ultimately resting on and pointing to the relation with God.
In his early period Buber was led, partly through empathy with Jewish and non-Jewish mysticism, to stress unitive experience and knowledge, in which the difference between one man and another and between man and God tend to disappear.
