    Martin Buber (1878 - 1965) was a renowned Austrian-born Jewish philosopher, translator, and scholar. He is famously known for his philosophy of dialogue, which revolves around the concept of the "I-Thou" relationship—a deeply personal, direct, reciprocal interaction that forms the foundation of human life and communication. In contrast to "I-It" relationship which is impersonal and utilitarian. His most famous work, "I and Thou", focuses on this philosophy. Buber also made significant contributions to Jewish thought, Christian theology, religious existentialism, and the philosophy of education.

  1. Martin Buber

    Martin Buber was an Austrian-born Israeli Jewish 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. Born in Vienna, Buber came from a family of observant Jews, but broke with Jewish custom to pursue secular studies in philosophy. In 1902, he became the editor of the weekly Die Welt, the central organ of the Zionist movement, although he later withdrew from organizational work in Zionism. In 1923, Buber wrote his famous essay on existence, Ich und Du, and in 1925, he began translating the Hebrew Bible into the German language. In 1930, Buber became an honorary professor at the University of Frankfurt am Main, but resigned in protest from his professorship immediately after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. He then founded the Central Office for Jewish Adult Education, which became an increasingly important body as the German government forbade Jews to attend public education. In 1938, Buber left Germany and settled in Jerusalem, Mandate Palestine, receiving a professorship at Hebrew University and lecturing in anthropology and introductory sociology.
