Martin Buber's Epistemology
International Philosophical Quarterly (2001)
- ISSN: 00190365
Abstract
This paper raises several epistemological questions hitherto undiscussed in Buber scholarship, including (i) if all knowledge is derived from the I-Thou realm of human experience, what is the status of theoretical knowledge?; (ii) Does Buber hold that human knowledge represents the world as it really is in itself?; (iii) How is one to characterize our knowledge of the I-Thou relation itself? The paper illustrates that many standard criticisms of Buber are based on a failure to adequately consider these questions, and argues that, although Buber did not address these questions directly, he can develop satisfactory responses to them.
