Modernity, Faith, and Martin Buber
&quot;Such haziness was inevitable, because the questions Buber was trying to answer were the most ineffable ones of human life: What is the meaning of our existence?&quot;<p>This is often said, but I don&#x27;t feel like its obvious in any way. Questions can be big and hard to answer, but that hardly means we _must_ speak about them without precision.<p>My sense is that people use oblique language on these questions because they dislike the answers that precise language makes unavoidable.
