Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Martin Buber suggests that we are not fully human if we live only with "I-It" relationships, meaning that we see others as objects or means to an end, rather than fully recognizing their humanity and engaging in genuine relationships with them. Option B is incorrect as "I-Thou" relationships are actually characterized by deep intimacy and connection, rather than being stable and detached. Option C is incorrect as "I-It" relationships are typically shallow and lacking in uniqueness. Option D is incorrect as "I-It" relationships are not typically interpersonal, but rather treat others as objects.
