Relating To The “I And Thou” Relating to the “I and Thou” In the book entitled “I and Thou” written by Martin Buber translated by Walter Kaufmann he is explaining the importance of “I and Thou” as everyone being obsessed with what they can have or obtain instead of what they can become spiritually. Buber believes that if you see yourself in everything than you can be one with yourself. Buber says ” There are men who hardly have an I at all” (Kaufmann, pg 12) I believe by this he means that one does not pay enough attention to ones self to know how to treat or be treated by others. People of today are more concerned about what they can obtain physically. People are not as concerned about what they can obtain spiritually for ones self. Buber says it in this quote “ Some inhabit worlds in which objects loom large” (Kaufmann, pg 12). I believe Buber is saying that people are more obsessed with what they know than what they can learn from what they know. Here you see that we may have a group of people who are solid in knowledge but do they really know whom they are deep with in their buber, people, kaufmann, pg, one, martin, know, self, ones, obtain, believe, true, treated, treat, thou, stated, solid, quote, life, just, exist, everyone, being, yourself, walter, spiritually, simon, says, really, obsessed, objects, must, learn, ideas, everything
