About this title: Martin Buber believed that the deepest reality of human life lies in the relationship between one being and another. Between Man and Man is the classic work where he puts this belief into practice, applying it to the concrete problems of contemporary society. Here he tackles subjects as varied as religious ethics, social philosophy, marriage, education, psychology and art. Including some of his most famous writings, such as the masterful 'What is Man?', this enlightening work challenges each reader to reassess their encounter with the world that surrounds them.

"I tried to read this, and got through the first essay and a half. I am just not deep enough to stay focused on this. He has good ideas and is really a fascinating thinker. I realize my inability to keep at it makes me a half efforted reader, but I just couldn't persist (and let me tell you, I am not a person who likes to leave a book unfinished, but that's where this one will remain). I would recommend this to people motivated to get through philosophy style books, but you have to appreciate a lot of abstract thought and esoteric writing. I decided to move on to something more shallow, "How To Lose Friends and Alienate People," which it is safe to say probably represents a lifestyle in perfect opposition to the lifestyle Buber would like one to lead."
"Re-reading this recently reminded me how much I appreciate Buber's philosophy and writings related to the essential dialogue that is so critical yet so rare in the world as we all wonder why our monologues don't bring us closer to others or our inner selves. Didn't discern the answer on how to reach this place of true dialogue but love the fact that Buber makes it come alive in a way that encourages us to strive towards it."
