"Buber held that he had not teaching but rather sought to carry on a conversation, inviting others to think along with him about the essential issues of our creaturely and social life. In this deftly edited volume, Sarah Scott brings together essays that engage in a conversation with Buber. As in any genuine conversation it is without closure, free of dogmatic reflexes, and hence illuminates the abiding relevance of that conversation."—Paul Mendes-Flohr, author of Martin Buber: A Life of Faith and Dissent"Martin Buber: Creaturely Life and Social Form is a valuable, fresh introduction to Buber's thought."—Steven G.
