Abstract

Buber’s philosophy of dialogue is an art that gives meaning to the human person, an art that provides a deep understanding of human existence and transcendence. To his mind, a human being is going to be a real man only when he treats the other person even natural as a subject and not as an object. Inter-subjectivity in the most general sense is an experienced sharing that occurs among subjects. Primarily the use of inter-subjectivity focuses on the recognition of the relationship between the self and others. In his masterpiece, I and Thou, Buber introduced the meaning of inter-subjectivity in the interaction of I-Thou. He focuses on the dialogic interaction between men and how the using of language can construct human attitude including the awareness to Spiritual Being. In other words, in the dialectic of human interrelationship, the immanence and transcendence of human being are brought up. Differed from Buddha, who admitted the suffering and the project of releasing from samsara as a kind of human existence, Buber affirmed that the human existence is situated in the "between", in the reality of the spirit, which response to the other as Thou.
