BUBER, Martin

BUBER, Martin
(1878-1965)
   JEWISH philosopher and theologian who did much to bring about a Jewish intellectual RENAISSANCE in Central Europe in the 1920s. Influenced by KANT, NIETZSCHE and KIERKEGAARD, Buber drew upon the Jewish HASIDIC TRADITION with its DOCTRINE that GOD is to be found in everything and everything in God and that the created world is to be redeemed rather than escaped from. His most famous work is the poem-essay I and Thou (1923-1937), which influenced many Christian thinkers including Paul TILLICH and Gabriel MARCEL.
