Man’s threefold living relation is:
Martin Buber was the son of Carl Buber, an agronomist, and his wife--both assimilated Jews. When Buber was three his mother left his father, and the boy was brought up by his grandparents in Lemberg (now Lviv, Ukraine). The search after the lost mother became a strong motive for Buber's dialogical thinking--his I-Thou philosophy. Solomon Buber (1827-1906), the Lemberg grandfather, a wealthy philanthropist, dedicated his life to the critical edition of Midrashim, a part of the nonlegal rabbinic lore. His works show him as a Hebrew gentleman-scholar who was also interested in Greek linguistic parallels. His wife, Adele, was even more a product of the 19th-century Enlightenment movement among eastern European Jewry that sought to modernize Jewish culture. |
