German-Jewish philosopher, 1878-1965, author of numerous philosophical works, of the novel Gog und Magog, and collector and translator of the tales of the Hasidim
Fishburn and Hughes: "A German philosopher, Zionist and translator of the bible, author of an extensive study of the sect of the Hasidim. When his programme to propagate Jewish culture and organise educational courses for Jews was stopped by the Nazis, Buber took refuge in Palestine, where he worked once more in adult education and advocated communal living in kibbutzim.
In his famous work I and Thou (1937) Buber used the word 'pathetic' (translated as 'with cosmic pathos') to describe the experience of man awakening to the realisation of his alienation in the dual system of a world in which there are only two partners: man and what confronts him. It was perhaps in this sense that early Zionist leaders, of whom Buber was one, declared that the Jews would remain a 'pathetic people' until they had a homeland of their own." (34)
