An attempt to answer this question led the author on a journey of exploration through Buber's early writings, to reach a clarification of Buber's predialogical concept of God. She examines Buber's first major philosophical work: \u003cem\u003eDaniel: Dialogues in Realization\u003c\/em\u003e, drawing attention to inaccuracies in the available English translation. Buber's desire for presence, she finds, began with an overwhelming experience of absence. His search is for a presence that will not let him down, that will not be a \"mis-encounter\"--that is, for a presence that will ensure that there is meaning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be an invaluable text for the student looking for a readable guide to Buber's early writings.
