Aesthetics of renewal

"In Aesthetics of Renewal, Martina Urban closely analyzes Martin Buber's writings and sources to explore his interpretation of Hasidic spirituality as a form of cultural criticism. As Urban unravels the rich layers of Buber's vision of Hasidism in this insightful book, he emerges as one of the preeminent thinkers on the place of religion in modern culture."--book jacket.
