Question
This book’s author describes looking into a cat’s eyes and seeing it ask, “Is it possible that you mean me?” as proof that animals’ eyes have “the power of real language.” This work describes abandoning the categories of picture, movement, species, law, or number in understanding a tree and instead becoming bound up in a mutual relation to the tree. This book’s opening line, “To man the world is twofold, in accordance with his twofold attitude,” refers to the differences between “experience” and “encounter” as modes of engagement. Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” uses this book’s central idea to explain how segregation “ends up relegating persons to the status of things.” For 10 points, the “I–It” relation is contrasted with the title subject-to-subject relationship in what magnum opus of Martin Buber? ■END■
