The thought paths of major German-Jewish philosophers Martin Buber (1878-1965), who immigrated to Jerusalem, and Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972), who immigrated to the U.S., had many intersections and divergences. Even-Chen (medieval and modern Jewish philosophy, Schechter Institute of Jewish studies, Jerusalem) and Meir (modern Jewish philosophy, Bar-Ilan U., Ramat Gam Israel) compare and contrast their views on the central themes in the works and correspondence of Heschel and Buber. These themes include each thinker's concept of the Divine and the relationship between man and God, as well as their views on the Hebrew prophets, the Divine commandments, Hasidism, Zionism, and Christianity. The authors also discuss Heschel and Buber in relation to other Jewish thinkers and psychologists. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
