Martin Buber, Dialogical Life, Person, Response, ResponsabilityAbstract
This article presents the Spanish translation of a lecture by Martin Buber, unpublished until 2012. Although not included in the Martin Buber Werkausgabe (MBW), this text clearly and concisely exposes the fundamental ideas of Buber’s anthropological thought. In it, Buber analyses the crisis of the person in an age marked by individualistic self-absorption and explores the tension between monological life and dialogical life. Concrete examples circulate in this text from theatre, religion, philosophy, and culture. However, Buber’s thought is not limited to an abstract philosophical analysis, but appeals to a concrete transformation of the person and his or her relationships, through a responsible response to what is happening and to each other. In the face of the political crises of his time, his response lies in the promotion of dialogical life as the basis for an authentic community.
