Hasidism, a controversial, mystical-religious movement of Eastern
European origin, has posed a serious challenge to mainstream
Judaism from its earliest beginnings in the middle of the
eighteenth century. Decimated by the Holocaust, it has risen like a
phoenix from the ashes and has reconstituted itself as a major
force in the world of ultra-Orthodox Judaism. Philosopher Martin
Buber found inspiration in its original tenets and devoted much of
his career to making its insights known to a wide readership. First
published in 1958, Hasidism and Modern Man examines the life and
religious experiences of Hasidic Jews, as well as Buber's personal
response to them. From the autobiographical "My Way to Hasidism,"
to "Hasidism and Modern Man," and "Love of God and Love of
Neighbor," the essays span nearly half a century and reflect the
evolution of Buber's religious philosophy in relation to the
Hasidic movement. Hasidism and Modern Man remains prescient in its
portrayal of a spiritual movement that brings God down to earth and
makes possible a modern philosophy in which the human being becomes
sacred.
