Sažetak
Aim of this paper is to elaborate the concept of „Eclypse of God“ as it is understood by „dialogical“ thinker Martin Buber. For Buber, a decisive moment in the occurrence of the eclipse of God was misconception that entering into a relationship with God is actually enter into the relationship of man with himself. This assumption marked the thought of modern age due to which it has become indifferent, and even largely hostile to the possibility of direct relationship between man and the divine You. It is this state that Buber called the “eclipse of God”. God is consequently seen as the strongest threat to human existence. At this point emerges atheism as an emancipation of new man from God. Buber raises a question: What is the outcome of this emancipation?
After presenting Buber’s thought on the subject, the authors of the paper are trying to explain and evaluate Buber’s philosophical position and draw attention to the certain inconsistencies that leave room to further reflection.
