Philosophy of dialogue is a type of
philosophy based on the work of the Austrian-born Jewish philosopher
Martin Buber best known through its classic presentation in his 1923 book I and Thou.[1] For Buber, the fundamental fact of human existence, too readily overlooked by scientific
rationalism and abstract philosophical thought, is "man with man", a
dialogue which takes place in the "sphere of between" (
German: das Zwischenmenschliche).[2]
