How to situate Martin Buber's intellectual thought is the subject of Laurence J.Silberstein's analysis. In his book, Dr. Silberstein focuses on dimensions of Buber's thought neglected in existing studies, including his concept of alienation and the crisis of modernity, his role as a social critic and thoughts on utopian socialism and the need for education, his idea of philosophy as a way in which to liberate humankind, and his interpretation of Judaism. "Martin Buber's Social and Religious Thought" provides a new view of this remarkable thinker.
