Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the prizewinning Jewish Lives series, the first major biography in English in over thirty years of the seminal modern Jewish thinker Martin Buber An authority on the twentieth-century philosopher Martin Buber (1878-1965), Paul Mendes-Flohr offers the first major biography in English in thirty years of this seminal modern Jewish thinker. The book is organized around several key moments, such as his sudden abandonment by his mother when he was a child of three, a foundational trauma that, Mendes-Flohr shows, left an enduring mark on Buber's inner life, attuning him to the fragility of human relations and the need to nurture them with what he would call a "dialogical attentiveness." Buber's philosophical and theological writings, most famously I and Thou, made significant contributions to religious and Jewish thought, philosophical anthropology, biblical studies, political theory, and Zionism. In this accessible new biography, Mendes-Flohr situates Buber's life and legacy in the intellectual and cultural life of German Jewry as well as in the broader European intellectual life of the first half of the twentieth century. About Jewish Lives: Jewish Lives is a prizewinning series of interpretative biography designed to explore the many facets of Jewish identity.

Download or read book Martin Buber written by Stephen M. Panko and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2016 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writings of the Jewish religious thinker, Martin Buber (1878-1965), have had a significant influence on a number of Christian theologians. Buber learned Hasidism, the religion of his boyhood that stressed piety and the hallowing of everyday life by affirming every person in his or her wholeness. This concern to develop true humanity under God through personal relations is expressed in the Hasidic teaching that "God is to be seen in everything, and reached by every pure deed." Buber's ideaof true life as relation was expressed in his famous book "I and Thou," in which he asserted that we can only become a personal "I" when we treat others, nature, and God as a "Thou" rather than an impersonal "It." Buber's work became widely known in Christian circles and was adopted by Christian theologians Karl Barth, Emil Brunner, Rudolf Bultmann, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Friedrich Gogarten among others. In this overview, Stephen Panko (1930-2012) provides a penetrating insight into the many facets of Buber and his work. - from back of book.
Download or read book Martin Buber s Theopolitics written by Samuel Hayim Brody and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did one of the greatest Jewish thinkers of the 20th century grapple with the founding of Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—one of the most significant political conflicts of his time? Samuel Hayim Brody traces the development of Martin Buber's thinking and its implications for the Jewish religion, for the problems posed by Zionism, and for the Zionist-Arab conflict. Beginning in turbulent Weimar Germany, Brody shows how Buber's debates about Biblical meanings had concrete political consequences for anarchists, socialists, Zionists, Nazis, British, and Palestinians alike. Brody further reveals how Buber's passionate commitment to the rule of God absent an intermediary came into conflict in the face of a Zionist movement in danger of repeating ancient mistakes. Brody argues that Buber's support for Israel stemmed from a radically rich and complex understanding of the nature of the Jewish mission on earth that arose from an anarchist reading of the Bible.

Download or read book Ludwig Strauss An Approach to His Bilingual Parallel Poems written by Julia Matveev and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the study of the bilingual “parallel poems” of Ludwig Strauss (Aachen 1892 ˗ Jerusalem 1953) created between 1934 and 1952 in Palestine/Israel and which exist in two variants, a Hebrew and a German version, one of which is the original and the other a self-translation. The aim of this study is to compare the versions and their interpretation based on Strauss’s theoretical essays on poetry and translation, his political writings and works of literary criticism. Special attention is paid to Strauss’s concept (linked with the idea of messianic redemption) of poetry as a “fore-image” of a future true community of men and as “the earthly expression of the Absolute” directed at interpreting divine revelation and its “translation” into human language. In examining Strauss’s experiments with self-translation, by which he aimed at establishing a dialogue between languages, and between people and nations, this study considers the two processes of translation: from divine speech into human language and from one human language into another.
Download or read book Mutuality written by Donald L. Berry and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an elegant book. By skillfully blending meticulous scholarship with points of genuine human interest, Donald Berry gives fresh insight into Martin Buber's vision of mutuality. Berry focuses on Buber's I and Thou to illuminate three facets of Buber's thought that have been largely neglected. In chapters titled "The Tree," "The Helper," and "The Brother," Berry shows how Buber's underlying vision of mutuality can expand our care for the things and beings of the natural world; investigates Buber's claim that those human relationships which are defined by a task to be performed are prevented from achieving full mutuality; and examines Buber's attempt to recover the figure of the Jewish Jesus. In the chapter on Jesus as brother, Berry discusses all of Buber's treatments of Jesus and identifies a new dimension to the contemporary Jewish-Christian dialogue. The concluding chapter, "The Vision," relates the three themes discussed.

Download or read book The Martin Buber Reader written by A. Biemann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Buber was professor of the history of religions and Jewish religion & ethics from 1923 to 1933 at the University of Frankfurt. He resigned in 1933, after Hitler came to power, and immigrated to Israel where he taught at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Buber wrote numerous books during his lifetime (1878-1965) and is best known for I and Thou and Good and Evil. His philosophy of dialogue-that is, the 'I-Thou' relationship which affirms each individual as being of unique value-is extremely well-known and has influenced important Protestant theologians like Karl Barth, Emil Brunner, Paul Tillich, and Reinhold Niebuhr. There is truly no genuine understanding of contemporary Jewish and Christian theology without reference to Martin Buber. His appeal is vast - not only is he renowned for his translations of the Old Testament but also for his interpretation of Hasidism, his role in Zionism, and his writings in both psychotherapy and political philosophy.

Download or read book Turning to the Other written by Donovan D. Johnson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I and Thou is a summons calling us to dialogue today. Like the call Buber himself received, the book invites us to encounter the Other, our counterparts both human and eternal. Buber's spiritual awakening, his engagement with his people and his times, his wide reading, and his grief are contexts that open up this call to us to join with him in the fullness of a life of dialogue. If we follow Buber into his study, into the struggle of his inner life, into his achievement of dialogical existence--he opens up the wonders of I and Thou to us as his testament and his call to us to turn to dialogue, and he shows us the path to the fulfillment of that life. This book ushers us to that place.
Download or read book Reviving the Love for Economic Justice written by Roshnee Ossewaarde-Lowtoo and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Reviving the Love for Economic Justice, Roshnee Ossewaarde-Lowtoo argues that the options for organizing economies are not limited to individualistic capitalism and collectivistic communism because the democratic commitment to human dignity requires the transcendence of the materialistic premises of both politico-economic arrangements. She therefore shifts the conversation to the more fundamental level of conflicting values and ideals, showing that the cultural and political failure to bring about humane economies can largely be blamed on the cultural preference for utility and wealth over justice and civic friendship. Ossewaarde-Lowtoo explores ways in which such cultural prejudice could be overcome so that the notion that humans are intrinsically related to each other and hence responsible for each other could gain ground. She argues that it is legitimate and realistic to hold out hope that both economies and markets can be subordinated to the higher goals of civic friendship and justice because human experience reveals love as the telos of human existence.
Download or read book The Problems of Communitarian Politics written by Elizabeth Frazer and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1999-10-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book offers a detailed critical analysis of the ideal of 'community' in politics. The book traces elements of the idea of community in a number of social and philosophical contests over the last century, explaining how these are articulated in very recent political and public policy debates. 'Community' is invoked as a justification for re-organisation of state institutions as the source of care, and support for individuals, and as an entity which is valuable in its own right, and needs itself to be sustained and defended. In community development, community action, community care, and community politics, the tensions and contradictions within the concept are often invariably felt community is both inclusive and exclusive; both organised and unstructured; and both hierarchical and egalitarian. The book argues that analyses of the concept of 'community' shows the role of ideas and ideals in shaping political actions, the barriers to the realization of community in practical contexts, and ultimately the untenability of the ideal itself.
