{"product_id":"i-and-thou","title":"I And Thou","description":"\u003cb\u003e100 years after its original publication, Martin Buber’s landmark work of philosophy and theology \u003ci\u003eI and Thou\u003c\/i\u003e remains one of the most important books of Western thought and a seminal work of 20th-century intellectual history. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsidered to be one of the most influential books of Western thought since its original publication in 1923, Martin Buber’s slender volume \u003ci\u003eI and Thou\u003c\/i\u003e influenced the way we think about our relationships with one another and with God. Buber unites currents of modern German philosophy with the Judeo-Christian tradition, powerfully updating faith for modern times.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eI and Thou\u003c\/i\u003e is Martin Buber’s pioneering work and the centerpiece of his groundbreaking philosophy. In it, Buber—one of the greatest Jewish minds of the 20th century—lays out a view of the world in which human beings can enter into relationships that enhance their mutual existential dignity (\u003ci\u003eI–Thou\u003c\/i\u003e relations). These “dialogical” relations contrast with those that tend to prevail in modern society, namely the treatment of others as objects to advance personal and collective interests (\u003ci\u003eI–It\u003c\/i\u003e relations). Buber demonstrates how \u003ci\u003eI-Thou\u003c\/i\u003e interhuman meetings reflect and embody the human meeting with God. For Buber, the essence of biblical religion affirms the possibility of a dialogue between man and God.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57507796091253,"sku":"9780684717258","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780684717258.jpg?v=1787042936","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/i-and-thou","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
