Daniel by Martin Buber

Daniel by Martin Buber

Better than any other single work, Daniel enables us to understand the significance of the transition Buber made from his early mysticism to the philosophy of dialogue. The book is written in the form of five dialogues, in each of which Daniel and his friends explore a crucial philosophical problem the nature of interconnection of unity, creativity, action, form, and realization as these illuminate the relations of man to God and the world. Daniel occupies a central position in Buber's life work.

A thoroughly satisfying aesthetic experience, of great literary and philosophical worth and its publication in English is an important eventHighly recommended. A profound and inimitable work of great poetic beauty. Daniel reveals to us another side, as yet all but unknown, of the genius of Martin Buber.

Born in Vienna, and raised in Lemberg, Buber studied philosophy at the University of Berlin. Fleeing Nazi Germany in 1938, he emigrated to Israel, where he taught social philosophy at the Hebrew University until his retirement in 1951. He lived in Jerusalem until his death in 1965.
