Societal polarization has given rise to opposing groups that fight each other as enemies and that have very different ideas about what should be done and about what is the case. This article investigates what tools there are in the philosophy of Martin Buber to address this societal polarization. Buber’s notion of community, the relationship between means and ends, his opposition to the political principle, the notion of an I-Thou dialogue and his conception of truth are presented as relevant for overcoming societal polarization. The article also presents the case of Daryl Davis as manifesting some of these Buberian principles.

超越政治原则：将马丁·布伯的哲学应用于社会两极分化

社会两极分化导致了对立的群体，他们以敌人的身份相互争斗，并且对应该做什么和情况如何有着截然不同的想法。本文研究了 Martin Buber 的哲学中有哪些工具可以解决这种社会两极分化。布伯的社区概念、手段和目的之间的关系、他对政治原则的反对、我-你对话的概念以及他的真理概念都与克服社会两极分化有关。这篇文章还介绍了达里尔·戴维斯 (Daryl Davis) 的案例，体现了其中一些布伯式原则。
