Tre Mace Ich und Du

Being introduced to Martin Buber while in Spain created an interest in his philosophy and his writings for me. I read his most famous work, I and Thou, which focuses on the two different relationships that we engage in. The fist and most common is the I-It relationship, and that does not allow us to fully experience the other being in the relationship. The second, and more important, is the I-Thou or I-You relationship. In which we do not have any limitations on the You, and we are able to fully experience the You, whether the You is another being or nature or God.
