Martin-Buber-Award 2009
Martin Buber (1878 - 1965) was a Jewish philosopher whose books and essays emphasize the relevance of "the dialogical principle" in the relationships of human beings. This term implies: to take notice of and to listen to the OTHER, to show another human being that you care and that you feel responsible...
During the annual International Culture and Science Festival EURIADE the Martin-Buber-Award is given to people who see, listen to and take care of the OTHER and whose achievements constitute factual answers to and solutions of their fellow citizens' questions and problems.
Oktober 8, 2010 this award will be given to:
H.R.H. Princess Irene van Lippe-Biesterfeld
Princess Irene van Lippe-Biesterfeld is awarded the Martin-Buber-Medal for her unconditional
commitment to nature as the undisputed basis of our life.
Without our natural resources, without our permanent dialogue with nature we - the people living on this globe - are doomed.
Princess Irene continuously considers the immanent value of life and thus - for
her - life is only possible in a balanced correlation of all the elements in our universe. Only a positive dialogue
with the natural energies within himself and within his natural environment can make man a
constituent part of the wholeness of life. In this dialogue soul, mind and body find calmness and consciousness, enthusiasm and appreciation, understanding and responsibility.
In doing so man re-discovers 'schechina' - a term coined by Martin Buber: the real source
of life.
