Martin Buber
Martin Buber (
8 February 1878 –
13 June 1965) was an
Austrian-
Israeli-
Jewish philosopher, translator, and educator, whose work centered on
theistic ideals of religious consciousness, interpersonal relations, and community. Buber's evocative, sometimes poetic writing style has marked the major themes in his work: the retelling of
Hasidic tales,
Biblical commentary, and
metaphysical dialogue. A
cultural Zionist, Buber was active in the Jewish and educational communities of
Germany and
Israel. He was also a staunch supporter of a
binational solution in
Palestine, instead of a
two-state solution, and after the establishment of the Jewish state of Israel, of a regional federation of Israel and Arab states. His influence extends across the humanities, particularly in the fields of
social psychology,
social philosophy, and
religious existentialism.
