| description | The philosophy of dialogue is often presented as an attitude towards the world within the framework of the relationship “<i>I</i> and <i>Thou</i>”. Martin Buber represented this approach in his works. Meanwhile, for other philosophers, especially Cohen and Rosenzweig, dialogue is unthinkable outside of a more complete system of person relations, which also includes He, She, They, We. A particularly sharp controversy unfolded between Rosenzweig and Buber around the place of <i>It</i> in the dialogical process. Rosenzweig not only criticized Buber’s belittling of <i>It</i> and ignoring the deep connection of the <i>I–Thou</i> and <i>I–It</i> relations, but also built his own philosophy of the third person, which is an important element of his philosophical system as a whole. In particular, Rosenzweig showed the extraordinary role of the <i>It</i> in the construction of language. Rosenzweig’s concept of <i>It</i> not only challenges Buber’s <i>It</i>, but also echoes Freud’s <i>Id</i>. Rosenzweig’s philosophy can be seen in many respects as an attempt to harmonize the relationship between <i>I</i> and <i>It</i>, i.e., between the selfhood of a separated person and the closeness of the world completed in itself. |
