Sobre el Autor

Maurice Friedman was a notable American philosopher and scholar, well known for his work on Martin Buber, a prominent figure in the Jewish philosophical tradition. Friedman's exploration of Buber's thought is most famously captured in his biographical work, "Encounter on the Narrow Ridge: A Life of Martin Buber." He delved into Buber's existentialism and his emphasis on dialogue and the relational nature of human existence, making significant contributions to the understanding of Buber’s philosophy.
In addition to his biographical research, Friedman authored several other influential works, including "A Heart of Wisdom: Religion and Human Wholeness" and "Hidden Human Image: A Heartening Answer to the Dehumanizing Threats of Our Age." Through these writings, he sought to articulate a vision of human wholeness that integrates spirituality, philosophy, and ethics, addressing the challenges of modernity while drawing from rich philosophical traditions. His work continues to inspire those interested in the intersections of philosophy, religion, and the human experience.
