Buber, Martin (1878-1965)

Austrian-born Israeli philosopher, a Zionist and advocate of the reappraisal of ancient Jewish thought in contemporary terms. His book I and Thou (1923) posited a direct dialogue between the individual and God; it had great impact on Christian and Jewish theology.

Buber was born in Vienna. When forced by the Nazis to abandon a professorship in comparative religion at Frankfurt, he went to Jerusalem and taught social philosophy at the Hebrew University from 1937 to 1951.
