"I and Thou" by Martin Buber (PhD) explores the nature of human relationships through the concepts of "I–It" and "I–Thou" interactions. The book contrasts utilitarian relationships, where people are treated as objects, with deep, reciprocal connections that foster meaning and authenticity. Buber argues that embracing genuine encounters transforms how individuals engage with others and the world. This philosophical work provides a unique perspective on personal connections and the role of dialogue in shaping human experience.
