Description
Women Writing Buber brings together women scholars who engage critically and creatively with Martin Buber's thought. Across philosophy, theology, literature, art, politics, and environmentalism, the volume demonstrates how women's perspectives illuminate and reshape central concepts such as dialogue, encounter, and relationality. Challenging the predominantly male reception of Buber, it foregrounds women's contributions to Buber scholarship and modern Jewish thought. The contributors do more than interpret Buber: they extend his work in new directions and bring to light possibilities that have remained underexplored.
"How do women view the great theologian Martin Buber? Can thinking with gender help us probe more deeply into Buber's understanding of I-Thou relationships, Jewish spirituality, and the nature of community? This remarkable collection, based on a conference, gives us new insights into Buber's writings and demonstrates the illumination that comes when thinking with gender."
Susannah Heschel, Professor of Jewish Studies, Dartmouth College
"Approaching Buber with 'a feminist bias', the present volume offers a critical counterpoint to the growing literature on Buber, which often vacillates between adulation and exasperation. While Women Write Buber imposes no unified or conclusive viewpoint, the contributors turn Buber from his head onto his feet, retrieving the feminine/feminist potential from his patriarchal veneer. The essays are uniformly excellent, informative, and groundbreaking."
