Martin Buber and the Human SciencesMaurice Friedman, Pat Boni The specific focus of Martin Buber and the Human Sciences is dialogue as the foundation of and integrating factor in the human sciences, using dialogue in the special sense which Buber has made famous: mutuality, presentness, openness, meeting the other in his or her uniqueness and not just as a content for one s own thought categories, and knowing as deriving in the first instance from mutual contact rather than knowledge of a subject about an object. By the human sciences the authors/editors mean material that can be meaningfully approached in a dialogic way, hence, the humanities, education, psychology, speech communication, anthropology, history, sociology, and economics. The essays in Martin Buber and the Human Sciences demonstrate that thirty years after Buber s death his influence is still resonating in many countries and in many fields. |
