A new collection of essays highlighting the wide range of Buber's
thought, career, and activism. Best known for I and Thou, which
laid out his distinction between dialogic and monologic relations,
Martin Buber (1878–1965) was also an anthologist, translator, and
author of some seven hundred books and papers. Martin Buber:
Creaturely Life and Social Form, edited by Sarah Scott, is a
collection of nine essays that explore his thought and career.
Martin Buber: Creaturely Life and Social Form shakes up the legend
of Buber by decentering the importance of the I-Thou dialogue in
order to highlight Buber as a thinker preoccupied by the image of
relationship as a guide to spiritual, social, and political change.
The result is a different Buber than has hitherto been portrayed,
one that is characterized primarily by aesthetics and politics
rather than by epistemology or theology. Martin Buber: Creaturely
Life and Social Form will serve as a guide to the entirety of
Buber's thinking, career, and activism, placing his work in context
and showing both the evolution of his thought and the extent to
which he remained driven by a persistent set of concerns.

The late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have been a
period of mass production and proliferation of Jewish ideas, and
have witnessed major changes in Jewish life and stimulated major
debates. The New Jewish Canon offers a conceptual roadmap to make
sense of such rapid change. With over eighty excerpts from key
primary source texts and insightful corresponding essays by leading
scholars, on topics of history and memory, Jewish politics and the
public square, religion and religiosity, and identities and
communities, The New Jewish Canon promises to start conversations
from the seminar room to the dinner table. The New Jewish Canon is
both text and textbook of the Jewish intellectual and communal
zeitgeist for the contemporary period and the recent past,
canonizing our most important ideas and debates of the past two
generations; and just as importantly, stimulating debate and
scholarship about what is yet to come.
