The Way of Response: Martin Buber: Selections from his Writings [Book Review]
Abstract
In all of the writings of Martin Buber there is one major theme which serves as a peg upon which he hangs most of his further thoughts. Nahum Glatzer uses this underlying theme, interpreting it as a "way of response," and brings together selections from many of Buber's works. Thus not only does the reader see the centrality of the "way of response" for this great Jewish thinker, but he captures a feeling for the man himself as well. The "way of response" is not a concept expounded but a life lived, and the selections Glatzer employs in his book brings this out very well.—W. P. G.
