We must learn to feel addressed by a book, by the human being behind it, as if a person spoke directly to us. A good book or essay or poem is not primarily an object to be put to use, or an object of experience: it is the voice of You speaking to me, requiring a response.
Kauffman, Walter, Prologue to “I and Thou” by Martin Buber
In the Readings on this website are some responses to the voice of that “You speaking to me.” In the Writings, you’ll find “me speaking to you”.
