Abstract:
This article presents a novel reading of Buber’s dialogical thought as an argument internal to the field of philosophy of action—namely, that action in its perfected form is necessarily dialogical. This work breaks rank with the consensus of previous scholarship that narrowly viewed Buber’s dialogical thought as a post-Kantian epistemology enlisted to solve the problem of access to noumenal reality and other minds. Judged through this prism, Buber’s dialogical thought was ultimately conceived by its philosophical interpreters as flawed and dated. However, as we change its framing, from an epistemology to a philosophy of action, these critiques should be reexamined.
