I and Thou [Ich und Du]. Translated by Ronald Gregor Smith.

Bookseller Notes

An important work, theological in its premise but, having as its basis a meditation on human relationships and language, with a broader influence in the fields of psychology and philosophy.The English translation, by Scottish theologian Gregor Smith, following fourteen years after its original German publication, is significant, arriving at a juncture when the author's domestic circumstances - under the shadow of the Nazi regime - were conspiring against Buber and his work. He left Germany for Jerusalem the following year.
