(Professor Friedman explores the rich tapestry of our huma...)
Professor Friedman explores the rich tapestry of our humanness as we strive to find meaning in our experiences, even in the midst of the evil and death that threaten to put an end to it all. This struggle is vividly captured in literary and poetic works that epitomise what Friedman describes as our effort to hold the tension between affirming where we can affirm and withstanding where we must withstand.

the urgency for an "image of man" during our post-modern age suggests that publishers should recrudence its publication. Covering a range of images including the socialist, vitalist, mystic, modern 'saint', gnostic, & existentialist, Friedman exposes the mystery of humanity.

Martin Buber and later with Martin Buber himself. The influence of Buber sthought has steadily spread throughout the last fifty years until today Buber is recognized throughout the world as occupying a position in the foremost ranks of contemporary philosophers, theologians,-and scholars. What has made such men as Hermann Hesse and Reinhold Niebuhr speak of Martin Buber as one of the few wise men living on the earth today, however, is not only his eminence as a thinker but also his concern with the lived concrete, the everyday reality which he takes up into his imagining and bears as his responsibility. Buber seightieth birthday, on February 8, 1958, was celebrated all over the world, for Martin Buber is one of the truly universal men of our time. More than any other person in the modern world, said the Protestant theologian H. Richard Niebuhr at one such celebration, more even than Kierkegaard, Martin Buber has been for me, and for many of my companions, the prophet of the soul and the witness to that truth which is required of the soul not as solitary, but as companionable being. In a time in which we are in danger of losing our birthright as human beings, Martin Buber has shown us what it means to live as men. When in 1944 Dr. Simon Greenberg gave me the first book of Buber sthat I ever read The Legend of the Baal-S hem Buber himself was practically unknown in America and only two of his books were in English, both published in England. Even when I wrote my doctoral dissertation on Buber in 1950, few had heard of him and few of his books were published here. Today more than twenty of Buber sbooks have been published in English, most of them in both England and A merica, several more translations are underway, five of his books have been reissued in paperback editions, four anthologies of his writings have appeared, and several books in English have been w (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

(Martin Buber's stature as the most significant Jewish rel...)
Martin Buber's stature as the most significant Jewish religious philosopher of the twentieth century is reinforced by his accomplishments and renown in areas as diverse as Hasidism, psychotherapy, education, folklore, and politics. He wrote on every subject in mankind's sociocultural spectrum and achieved a synthesis that brought Western thought genuinely closer to an understanding of the whole of human existence. Among his classics, known and studied all over the world, are I and Thou, The Knowledge of Man, Tales of the Hasidim, The Way of Man, and For the Sake of Heaven. But more than any other philosopher or thinker, Martin Buber was a wise person and a teacher who pointed the way for others. Through his personal response to each situation in his life, he pointed not toward a safe, broad philosophical system, but toward a life of encounter out along the windswept points of a narrow, rocky ridge. In his complete and masterful biography of the man, Maurice Friedman relates the full panorama of Buber's active human presence including the early loss of his mother, the influence of his father and grandparents, his education in turn-of-the-century Vienna, his Zionism, encounters with Hasidism, and his sixty-year, deeply felt marriage to Paula Buber. It also depicts the impact of World War I on his life; his work in education, community, and politics between the wars; his espousal of decentralized federal socialism; his more than forty years of fighting for Jewish-Arab understanding; and his leadership of the spiritual resistance to the Nazis in Hitler Germany. In addition, we see Buber win the peace prize of the German book trade after World War II; his advocacy of nuclear disarmament; his attacks on Heidegger, Sartre, and Jung for contributing to the eclipse of God; his many conflicts with Ben-Gurion in the interests of the greater peace; and his meetings and influence in psychotherapy, education, and sociology. Through his close relationship with Buber and recent access to forty-five thousand unpublished letters, Maurice Friedman recreates Buber's vitality, his philosophy of dialogue, and his spirituality based on a personal relationship with God. Friedman's chronicle of Buber's encounters includes an angry visit to Gestapo headquarters in 1933 to get his passport reinstated, as well as his intimate friendships with Hermann Hesse, Gustav Landauer, and Franz Rosenzweig, and his relationships with his wife, children, and grandchildren. Throughout Encounter on the Narrow Ridge, Friedman delivers the essential spontaneity of a great man who saw in every encounter a focal point for human growth.

Some central tenets of humanistic and existential psychology, such as self-realization and self-actualization, sometimes criticized for being insufficiently 'tough-minded', are challenged in this provocative book. Friedman's aim is not to leave behind that which has been valuable to the movement, but rather to advance humanistic psychology with a more coherent vision of psychology for contemporary psychologists and psychotherapists. He focuses on dialogue and the human image, two elements essential to any psychology that is truly humanistic. He explores the work of many leading figures in humanistic psychology and presents a goldmine of information about psychotherapy, interpersonal encounter and the need for mutual affirma

Martin Buber: The Life of Dialogue, the first study in any language to provide a complete overview of Buber's thought, remains the definitive guide to the full range of his work and the starting point for all modern Buber scholarship. Maurice S. Friedman reveals the implications of Buber's thought for theory of knowledge, education, philosophy, myth, history and Judaic and Christian belief. This fully revised and expanded fourth edition includes a new preface by the author, an expanded bibliography incorporating new Buber scholarship, and two new appendices in the form of essays on Buber's influence on Emmanuel Levinas and Mikhail Bakhtin.

Drawing on almost half a century of immersion in the world's great religions, Friedman takes a dialogical approach through which religious reality is not seen as external creed and form or as subjective inspiration, but as the meeting in openness, presentness, immediacy, and mutuality with ultimate reality. Religion has to do with the wholeness of human life.
