I and Thou: Understanding Love as a Relational Experience, Slides of Philosophy of Love

Martin buber's philosophy distinguishes two primary ways of experiencing the world: i-it and i-thou. I-it relationships involve actions towards objects, while i-thou relationships are characterized by openness to another's being. Buber argues that love is not a feeling but a responsibility between subjects, and it is this perspective that sets his work apart from common understandings of love as an emotion.
