{"product_id":"martin-bubers-journey-to-presence-9780823227396","title":"Martin Buber's Journey to Presence","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat does Martin Buber mean, in \u003ci\u003eI and Thou\u003c\/i\u003e, by the claim that the one thing that matters is full acceptance of presence? An attempt to answer this question led the author on a journey of exploration through Buber's early writings, to reach a clarification of Buber's predialogical concept of God. She examines Buber's first major philosophical work: \u003ci\u003eDaniel: Dialogues in Realization\u003c\/i\u003e, drawing attention to inaccuracies in the available English translation. Buber's desire for presence, she finds, began with an overwhelming experience of absence. His search is for a presence that will not let him down, that will not be a \"mis-encounter\"--that is, for a presence that will ensure that there is meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be an invaluable text for the student looking for a readable guide to Buber's early writings. It will help readers to understand the rich depth and many layers of thought in Buber's masterpiece,\u003ci\u003e I and Thou\u003c\/i\u003e, and to appreciate the radical change that took place in Buber's concept of God prior to its publication in 1923.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phil Huston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48282759135483,"sku":"9780823227396","price":97.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_e503b905-4147-4aa8-a699-dc4cd71bb73d.jpg?v=1778613514","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/martin-bubers-journey-to-presence-9780823227396","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
