Meetings: Autobiographical Fragments

Synopsis
This volume sets forth the life of one of the 20th-century's greatest spiritual philosophers, Martin Buber, in his own words. A series of reflections and narratives, it seeks not to describe his life in its full entirety, but rather to convey some of his defining moments of uncertainty, contact, revelation and meaning. Recalling the question on the infinity of space and time which nearly drove Buber to suicide at the age of 14, his adolescent "seduction" by Nietzsche's work, his hero-worship of Ferdinand Lassalle and complex response to Theodor Herzl's immense charisma, and his love of Bach's music, which modified the "ground tone" of his life, "Meetings" is a portrait of a unique intellect in progress. No less remarkable, though, are its glimpses of the young Buber's evolving spiritual understanding of the world, as mediated through day-to-day interaction with others including his mother, who left him at the age of four, his grandparent's horse, and strangers met by chance or by design. "Meetings" reflects the concept of dialogue in its purest and most intimate form; a dialogue conducted with the self, with memory, and with its reader and addressee, no less divine than human. Like Buber's great works "Between Man and Man" and "The Way of Man", it evokes a concept of meaning ultimately found, as Maurice Friedman writes in his introduction, "not in conceptual or systematic thought but in the four-dimensional reality of events and meetings".
