The Martin Buber - Carl Rogers Dialogue: A New Transcript With Commentary

Front Cover
The Martin Buber-Carl Rogers Dialogue offers a corrected and extensively annotated version of this central text in human sciences. Focusing on the sole meeting between these two central figures in twentieth-century intellectual life, Anderson and Cissna return to the original 1957 audio tape and to a variety of other primary sources as they correct and clarify the historical record. Anderson and Cissna discuss the central issues of the conversation, including the limits of mutuality approaches to "sell, " alternative models of human nature, confirmation of others, and the nature of dialogic relation itself.
