A Precursor to Dialogical Philosophy? Buber’s Ambiguous View of Socrates

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Martin Buber's reception of Socrates is complex and its emphases shifted over time.In the present article I first demonstrate how Buber included Socrates in his project of dialogical philosophy and depicted him as an ally in his confrontation with monological philosophical paradigms.Subsequently, I highlight those aspects of Socrates' doctrine which Buber considered problematic, often discussing them in connection with Jewish spirituality.I continue by analyzing Buber's ideal of dialogical education, in which his confrontation with Socrates plays a central role.Finally, I present an overall evaluation of Buber's reception of Socrates, commenting on its development and dynamics.
