Martin Buber was one of the most significant religious thinkers of the twentieth
century. In this short and remarkable book he presents the essential teachings
of Hasidism, the mystical Jewish movement which swept through Eastern Europe in
the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Told through stories of imagination and
spirit, together with Buber's own unique insights, The Way of Man offers us a w
ay of understanding ourselves and our place in a spiritual world.
'There is s
omething', he suggests, 'that can only be found in one place. It is a great trea
sure, which may be called the fulfilment of existence. The place where this trea
sure can be found is the place on which one stands.' Challenging us to recognize
our own potential and to reach our true goal, The Way of Man is a life-enhancin
g book.
