Description
Résumé:This article casts a contemporary scholarly eye on the Jewish icon Martin Buber’s lifelong engagements with Chinese religious thought, which were surprisingly extensive, but have remained relatively obscure in both Sinological and Buberian intellectual circles. I argue here that Buber's Chinese studies can be divided into three distinct phases—romantic, dialogical, and Israeli—which each provide insight into Buber's broader intellectual narrative and demonstrate extended moments of Buber's cultural border-crossing. I also offer an implicit challenge to normative presentations of Chinese traditions.
