Obviously, he failed In 1938, Buber settled in Palestine and was a professor of philosophy at Hebrew University. He died in 1965. Martin Buber is best-known for his book I and Thou , which he wrote in 1923. It focused on the way humans relate to their world. According to Buber, frequently we view both objects and people by their functions.
Scientists can learn a great deal about our world by observing, measuring, and examining.
For Buber, all such processes are I-It relationships. Unfortunately, we frequently view people in the same way. Rather than truly making ourselves completely available to them, understanding them, sharing totally with them, really talking with them, we observe them or keep part of ourselves outside the moment of relationship. We do so either to protect our vulnerabilities or to get them to respond in some preconceived way, to get something from them. Each person comes to such a relationship without preconditions.
