•He conceives the human person in
his/her wholeness, totality, concrete
existence and relatedness to the
world.

person as a subject, who is a being
different from things or from objects.

•This relationship is a person
to thing, subject to object that
is merely experiencing and
using; lacking directedness
and mutuality (feeling,
knowing, acting)
21. MARTIN BUBER’S I-YOU
The human person experiences
his wholeness not in relation to
one’s self, but in virtue of his
relation to another self.

relation
