Till för medmänniskan Om medmänsklighet utifrån Martin Buber och Gustaf Wingren

Abstract

This is a study of humanity about the meetings we have with one another. I write about this subject out of the perspective of Martin Buber and Gustaf Wingren. As I enter this area and begin the writing a few questions are being developed, such as:” Why do we as humans have the need to meet each other?” “What happens with us when the meeting is absent?” “What does it mean to love your fellow man or woman?” “What helps or destroys our possibilities to meet each other?” Buber talks about Me and You and the aim of the meeting we have with each other. When we meet each other it generates a responsibility against each other. Wingren talks about the vocation we have to our neighbor. The vocation belongs to our life, here on the earth. I find it interesting to compare Buber’s and Wingren’s thoughts because they are in a way talking about the same thing through two different perspectives. I invite you to read an essay about you and me as humans and how we find our way to each other with keywords as foregather, humanity, vocation, me, you and collation
