Riepilogo:This article casts a contemporary scholarly eye on the Jewish icon Martin Buber’s lifelong engagements with Chinese religious thought, which were surprisingly extensive, but have remained relatively obscure in both Sinological and Buberian intellectual circles.

I also offer an implicit challenge to normative presentations of Chinese traditions.
