Essay / Research Paper Abstract
8 pages in length. Martin Buber's concept of relation maintains three specific spheres in which relation takes place: I, Thou and It. Abraham Joshua Heschel's theory of the worlds of time and space holds a special meaning in man's existence with regard to perception. Noting how the world of time is exhibited by the interaction between people and the world of space is one where people interact with nature and other nonhuman entities, one can readily understand the impact such holistic theory has upon the way in which both worlds operate in today's society. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

the composition of only half a person; rather, both entities must flourish in an individuals life so as to bring about a sense of balance. To merely interact on
the I-It relational stance is, according to Buber (1958) to lack the ability to be a man; correspondingly, the I-Thou relation is availed to man only at which time he
has discovered his entire being as a genuine person. "This experience cannot be manufactured. Like any experience it fades or simply fails to occur if it is pursued.
I can hope it will happen and sometimes it will. I can try to make it happen but any attempt invariably pushes it out of reach. There
is, however, a way of being that is very conducive to its emergence which could be described as "tentative curiosity" (Racine, 1996). Bubers (1958) precedence-setting insight to the intrinsic
relationship between God, man and his world has proven enlightening to a species that otherwise ignores its most spiritual grounding. Humankind regularly turns away from the very entity responsible
for his being; by focusing more upon the I-It relation, Buber (1958) points out how man is never able to find wholeness of person or spirit. "Gods address to
