"[Buber] has enriched world literature with a genuine treasure as has no other living author."?Hermann Hesse
The popular communal mysticism known as Hasidism altered religious thought and practice among East European Jews during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Martin Buber, the greatest Jewish philosopher and religious thinker of the mid-twentieth century, single-handedly transformed Hasidism from an all-but-forgotten trend into one of the great spiritual movements of the modern world.
This collection features some of Professor Buber's most important essays?profound yet simple meditations that constitute an incomparable distillation of Hasidic wisdom. Remarkable for their variety of form and unity of spirit, they offer decisive implications for the fields of psychology, education, ethics, and social thought as well as Jewish and Christian religious philosophy. This is the only available edition of Hasidism and Modern Man in Maurice Friedman's acclaimed translation.
