Martin Buber’s Dialogic Communication Essay
Martin Buber's Dialogic Communication
Dialogue is more than talking. It is not the straightforwardness of talking to or at, rather it is communicating with or between. It is "a relation
between persons that is characterized in more or less degree by the element of inclusion" (Buber, 97). Inclusiveness is an acknowledgment of the
other person, an event experienced between two persons, mutual respect for both views and a willingness to listen to the views of the other. These

"The narrow ridge requires a balancing of concern for self and other in proportionate amounts for what is needed by the situation..." (Arnett, 173).

communicate something for the sake of having their own thoughts and ideas heard, not to learn, not to influence, not to come to understanding
with another (Arnett, 6). Dialogue does not happen just because you like or love someone. In fact, it can happen between persons who dislike
each other very much as long as they can
