From what I know, Martin Buber is liberal globalist scum. I haven't read him, but I get this impression from comments by Yoram Hazony who is by far the best recent jewish philosopher.

Well, for me is utile. He is a life utility philosopher, as I classify. So, I only read that work, I and Thou and this give some insights about the human behaviour. But you affirm that the political tendency of a philosopher can be crucial to the judgement of his work? |

You said you haven't read Buber; I must say I haven't read Hazony. Following your estimate of him, I just read en.wikipedia.org>wiki>The_Virtue_of_Nationalism and I admire him. As to Buber, I do not know whether he was a globalist. His "I and Thou" made him a favorite among existentialists some decades ago, since a man should look at another as a person rather than as an object.... |

Utility of the work, not of the philosopher. As Confucius says: “The superior man is not a utensil”.

Did he look at Nazis as persons? They weren't; they were slavish robots gone psycho, as in "Fondly Farenheit." |

The title of this thread is "Do you know Martin Buber?" not "Do you know Martin Buber's philosophy?". So I was commenting on the man. I generally don't like western philosophy for reasons that I can explain if you want. Yoram Hazony follows the philosophy of the Old Testament, not western philosophy, which is why I like him. |

I will like to listen if you want to explain. For sure. |

I think I need to write a short history of western philosophy to properly answer this. I will do this eventually, and post again here. I only write on shabbat, so it may be a few weeks. |
