Synopsis
Emmanuel Levinas (1906-95) and Martin Buber (1878-1965) were friends and associates during their lives, devoting several studies to the other and engaging in constant dialogue. Here, scholars of philosophy, religion, and Jewish studies from North America, Europe, and Israel resume their dialogue. The goal is not to assimilate their respective views to each other but to point out the differences, which the two philosophers agreed were necessary for true dialogue.
