A call for revival

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 — Adam Kotsko

I have been teaching Buber’s I and Thou and finding it amazingly productive of thought and discussion. I wonder if, after such a long period where Levinas has had a corner on the “ethics of respect for the Other” market, the time may be ripe for a Buber revival.

    i hear you. and i’ve been reading marcel a lot lately too, and think he’s becoming more pertinent again.

    I was going to say that someone should bring him into conversation with Stephen Darwall’s stuff on the second person standpoint, but Search Inside shows he’s mentioned a couple of times in Darwall’s book already. So: Someone should do that moreso.
