In the book On Relationality, Alexander Carabi explores the relational nature of human life through the work of Martin Buber. The book begins from the observation that many contemporary problems can be understood as forms of relational breakdown, in how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.
Drawing on Buber’s claim that life is fundamentally relational, Carabi examines what it means to live in ways that honour this reality. He introduces key ideas in relational thinking and translates them into clear, accessible language, connecting philosophy with lived experience. The book brings together perspectives from psychology, leadership, and metaphysics, drawing on thinkers such as Iain McGilchrist, Otto Scharmer, Thomas Hübl, Carlo Rovelli, and Lao Tzu.
Throughout, the emphasis is on practical reflection. The book invites readers to notice how relationship shapes meaning, communication, and action, and to experiment with more attentive, dialogic ways of being in everyday life.
