Description

Abraham Joshua Heschel and Martin Buber are giant and committed thinkers of the twentieth century who greatly contributed to the understanding of religious consciousness, of the Bible, and of Judaism. Heschel was an observant Jew and a scion of Hasidism, while Buber was nonobservant and was immersed in a haskalah milieu....The lives of Buber and Heschel are intertwined. In their spiritual creations, they are close; nevertheless, they greatly differ. The present study systematically compares the two thinkers, pointing to their common ground and signaling where their paths diverge. (from the Introduction).
