Author : Martin Buber

Martin Buber was a prominent Austrian-born Jewish philosopher renowned for his philosophy of dialogue, which emphasizes the distinction between the I-Thou and I-It relationships. Born into a family of observant Jews, Buber diverged from traditional practices to pursue secular studies in philosophy. He emerged as a key figure in the Zionist movement, becoming the editor of Die Welt in 1902, though he later distanced himself from formal Zionist organizations. Buber's seminal work, "I and Thou," published in 1923, explores existential themes, while he also began translating the Hebrew Bible into German in 1925. In 1930, he was appointed an honorary professor at the University of Frankfurt am Main but resigned in protest when Hitler came to power in 1933. Subsequently, he established the Central Office for Jewish Adult Education to support Jewish learning as public education became increasingly restricted. In 1938, Buber emigrated to Jerusalem, where he took a professorship at Hebrew University and focused on anthropology and sociology.
