The Iu Mode in Relationships

i thow encounter is buber's substitute for hegel's primal master and slave, oya coming in contact. The idea is that you sort of start and you're absorbed by this object. This is the curiosity you're talking about, and this primal instinct. And it's not really differentiated from objects in the world. You're just absorbed in it. It could be your parents. Or even if it's not a person, he talks about the teddy bear and things we not only reach out for, encounter, we project. That's all to say, we think of this, and certainly for hegel it's with another person, and is the paradime.
