In 1923, Buber wrote his famous essay on existence, Ich und Du (later translated into English as I and Thou),[3] and in 1925, he began translating the Hebrew Bible into the German language. From 1906 until 1914, Buber published editions of Hasidic, mystical, and mythic texts from Jewish and world sources. Buber is famous for his thesis of dialogical existence, as he described in the book I and Thou.[3] However, his work dealt with a range of issues including religious consciousness, modernity, the concept of evil, ethics, education, and Biblical hermeneutics.[29] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5932.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5932.txt
