Buber’s Dialogic Concept of Child–rearing and Education

Abstract

The article deals with philosphical–pedagogical themes in the works of Martin Buber, a representative of dialogics (philosophy of dialogue, philosophy of encounter). In the introductory section one can find explanations to key concepts in the understanding of dialogics and Buber’s philosophy (dialogics, relation, demarcation between philosophy and religion...). In the first section Buber’s thoughts on child–rearing are put forth, while the second contains a survey of his guidelines for the same. The third section outlines Buber’s recommendations to educators on the process of upbringing and education. In the conclusion we see Buber’s thoughts concretized in a contemporary environment.
