Download or read book I and Thou written by Martin Buber and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-12-09 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The publication of Martin Buber's I and Thou was a great event in the religious life of the West.' Reinhold Niebuhr Martin Buber (1897-19) was a prolific and influential teacher and writer, who taught philosophy at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem from 1939 to 1951. Having studied philosophy and art at the universities of Vienna, Zurich and Berlin, he became an active Zionist and was closely involved in the revival of Hasidism. Recognised as a landmark of twentieth century intellectual history, I and Thou is Buber's masterpiece. In this book, his enormous learning and wisdom are distilled into a simple, but compelling vision. It proposes nothing less than a new form of the Deity for today, a new form of human being and of a good life. In so doing, it addresses all religious and social dimensions of the human personality.

Book Synopsis Martin Buber's Spirituality by : Kenneth Paul Kramer
Download or read book Martin Buber's Spirituality written by Kenneth Paul Kramer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we find meaning in our life? This book explores how Martin Buber, one of the 20th century’s greatest religious thinkers, answers this timeless question. Author Kenneth Paul Kramer explains Buber’s Hasidic spirituality—a living connection between the human and the divine—and how it is relevant to all spiritual seekers. According to Buber, we find meaning in life through wholeheartedly “letting God in." He developed this theme through six thought-provoking talks originally published as The Way of Man. In Martin Buber’s Spirituality, Kramer explains the accessible practices Buber outlined in these talks, shares the stories Buber used to illustrate each point, and explores how these teachings might apply in everyday life today. The book features questions for personal or group reflection to help readers more fully explore Martin Buber’s approach to spirituality, along with a glossary of key terms.
Book Synopsis Aesthetics of Renewal by : Martina Urban
Download or read book Aesthetics of Renewal written by Martina Urban and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Buber’s embrace of Hasidism at the start of the twentieth century was instrumental to the revival of this popular form of Jewish mysticism. Hoping to instigate a Jewish cultural and spiritual renaissance, he published a series of anthologies of Hasidic teachings written in German to introduce the tradition to a wide audience. In Aesthetics of Renewal, Martina Urban closely analyzes Buber’s writings and sources to explore his interpretation of Hasidic spirituality as a form of cultural criticism. For Buber, Hasidic legends and teachings were not a static, canonical body of knowledge, but were dynamic and open to continuous reinterpretation. Urban argues that this representation of Hasidism was essential to the Zionist effort to restore a sense of unity across the Jewish diaspora as purely religious traditions weakened—and that Buber’s anthologies in turn played a vital part in the broad movement to use cultural memory as a means to reconstruct a collective identity for Jews. As Urban unravels the rich layers of Buber’s vision of Hasidism in this insightful book, he emerges as one of the preeminent thinkers on the place of religion in modern culture.

It argues that God is the between of I and Thou.

Book Synopsis Psychoanalysis as a Spiritual Discipline by : Paul Marcus
Download or read book Psychoanalysis as a Spiritual Discipline written by Paul Marcus and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great existential psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger famously pointed out to Freud that therapeutic failure could "only be understood as the result of something which could be called a deficiency of spirit." Binswanger was surprised when Freud agreed, asserting, "Yes, spirit is everything." However, spirit and the spiritual realm have largely been dropped from mainstream psychoanalytic theory and practice. This book seeks to help revitalize a culturally aging psychoanalysis that is in conceptual and clinical disarray in the marketplace of ideas and is viewed as a "theory in crisis" no longer regarded as the primary therapy for those who are suffering. The author argues that psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy can be reinvigorated as a discipline if it is animated by the powerfully evocative spiritual, moral, and ethical insights of two dialogical personalist religious philosophers—Martin Buber, a Jew, and Gabriel Marcel, a Catholic—who both initiated a "Copernican revolution" in human thought. In chapters that focus on love, work, faith, suffering, and clinical practice, Paul Marcus shows how the spiritual optic of Buber and Marcel can help revive and refresh psychoanalysis, and bring it back into the light by communicating its inherent vitality, power, and relevance to the mental health community and to those who seek psychoanalytic treatment.

Book Synopsis Martin Buber's Philosophy of "encounter" and "dialogue" and the Spiritual Life of Young Human Beings Birth to Three by : Frances Joan Rofrano
Download or read book Martin Buber's Philosophy of "encounter" and "dialogue" and the Spiritual Life of Young Human Beings Birth to Three written by Frances Joan Rofrano and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this dissertation is the reconceptualization of the "infant" as a young human being through the lens of philosophical anthropology presented by the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. I argue young human beings are whole human beings, body, psyche and spirit. Spirit is defined as the organizing principle of the narrative self of the child. By receiving the narrative self of the child, spirit is met in the "between" dialogical I/Thou relationships. Having both power and agency, young human beings are dialogical partners with caring adults and other children in the creation of their individual narrative of self and are contributors to the creation of our world view. Theory construction is the method employed. This thesis connects D.W. Winnicott's object relations theory of transitional phenomena, a theory about the coming "to be" of the young human being with Buber's philosophy of the ontic nature of relationships. Seeking to create a theory about the spiritual life of the young human being neither cut short by an allegiance to any religious dogma nor driven by feelings alone necessitates using the language Nel Noddings offers us in her ethics of care. Observational data of infants from the researcher's infant care/educational practice is drawn upon to offer examples of this theory brought into infant classroom. Each part is in dialogue with the whole of infant/toddler curriculum to create a unique community of learners-a We Community. Chapter one offers a brief genealogy of philosophical anthropology. Chapter two presents Buber's principium humanum. In chapter three Buber provides the ontological reality of the human's desire for relationship as D. W. Winnicott explains the developmental perspective of it. Chapter three focuses on the I/Thou relationship of the mother/infant dyad. Here a third relationship, I/Spirit, is introduced. Chapter four connects Nodding to Buber and is used as a theoretical framework for infant care/education. Chapter five brings theory into practice offering the reader a sample of an infant curriculum that takes spirit seriously.
Download or read book Eclipse of God written by Martin Buber and published by Humanities Press International. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The condition Buber calls the 'eclipse of God' is the reality that modern life and the teachings of many scholars have in many ways destroyed the opportunity for intimacy with an eternal, ever-present, Thou, or God. Based in part on a series of lectures he gave in the United States in 1951, this book examines Buber's interpretations of Western thinking and belief around this notion of lost intimacy or direct contact with the Divine, focusing particularly on the relationships between religion and philosophy, ethics, and Jungian psychology." --Reference and Research Book News

Book Synopsis Dialogical Philosophy from Kierkegaard to Buber by : Shmuel Hugo Bergman
Download or read book Dialogical Philosophy from Kierkegaard to Buber written by Shmuel Hugo Bergman and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces American readers to a philosophical and spiritual exemplar of dialogue. The author presents a way of thinking about ourselves, the world, and our relationship to God that is neither dualistic nor monistic. The thinkers presented in this book focus on a radical departure from objectivism and subjectivism. Kierkegaard, Feuerbach, Herman Cohen, Ferdinand Ebner, Eugen Rosenstock, Franz Rosenzweig, and Martin Buber were all trying to find a way to allow a transaction between self, the world, and God without foregoing either individuality or the experience of merging. Some of the issues covered in the book include the origins of philosophy; objective versus existential truth; irony, truth, and faith; ethics versus aesthetics; ethics versus religion; thought and language; love of God and neighbor; I-Thou and I-It in Nature, with people, and with God; and redemption in the world.
Download or read book Eclipse of God written by Martin Buber and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biblical in origin, the expression "eclipse of God" refers to the Jewish concept of hester panim, the act of God concealing his face as a way of punishing his disobedient subjects. Though this idea is deeply troubling for many people, in this book Martin Buber uses the expression hopefully—for a hiding God is also a God who can be found. First published in 1952, Eclipse of God is a collection of nine essays concerning the relationship between religion and philosophy. The book features Buber's critique of the thematically interconnected—yet diverse—perspectives of Soren Kierkegaard, Hermann Cohen, C.G. Jung, Martin Heidegger, and other prominent modern thinkers. Buber deconstructs their philosophical conceptions of God and explains why religion needs philosophy to interpret what is authentic in spiritual encounters. He elucidates the religious implications of the I-Thou, or dialogical relationship, and explains how the exclusive focus on scientific knowledge in the modern world blocks the possibility of a personal relationship with God. Featuring a new introduction by Leora Batnitzky, Eclipse of God offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the modern world’s greatest Jewish thinkers.
Download or read book Body of Water written by Chris Dombrowski and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poet’s memoir of taking an unplanned trip to the Bahamas and meeting a fishing guide who changed his life: “A splendid book.”—Jim Harrison in The New York Times Book Review Chris Dombrowski, a poet and passionate fly-fisher, had a second child on the way and an income hovering perilously close to zero when he received a miraculous email: can’t go, it’s all paid for, just book a flight to Miami. Thus began a journey that would eventually lead to the Bahamas and to David Pinder, a legendary bonefishing guide. Bonefish are prized for their elusiveness and their tenacity. And no one was better at hunting them than Pinder, a Bahamian whose accuracy and patience were virtuosic. He knows what the fish think, said one fisherman, before they think it. By the time Dombrowski meets him, though, Pinder has been abandoned by the industry he helped build. With cataracts from a lifetime of staring at the water and a tiny severance package after forty years of service, he watches as the world of his beloved bonefish is degraded by tourists he himself did so much to attract. But as Pinder’s stories unfold, Dombrowski discovers a profound integrity and wisdom in the bonefishing guide’s life. “A poet and Montana-based fly-fishing guide recounts his trip to the Bahamas, where he met an aging guide who taught him about fish and life…loosely links reflections on his experiences catching and releasing bonefish, the history and geography of the Bahamas, the construction of fishing rods, stories he has told his children, and the difference between fishing or hunting for sport and for dinner.”—Kirkus Reviews “Thematically complex, finely wrought, and profoundly life-affirming.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
