PRESENT IN RELATIONSHIPS

EXISTENCE AS ENCOUNTER

I-THOU VS. I-IT

I-THOU

  • Is a relationship that stresses concrete encounter;
  • People meet one another in authentic existence;
  • People meet without qualification;
  • People meet without objectification of one another;
  • The relationship cannot be measured, E.G. pls

I-THOU

  • It is an ENCOUNTER;
  • It is a MEETING;
  • It is a DIALOGUE;
  • There is MUTUALITY & EXCHANGE

I-IT

  • People do not actually meet;
  • The "I" confronts and qualifies an idea;
  • Treats the person as an object;
  • It is not a dialogue, but a monologue;
  • Treats the other as a thing, object, E.G. pls.
