The Subject as Thinker, which has dominated modern philosophy, has led us to value knowledge for its own sake and trust theory over practice, needs to be replaced by the self as agent. The logic of the personal, in which the positive (e.g. action, love) is constituted and sustained by its negative (e.g. thinking, fear) arises out of personal relationship (\u201cI-and-you\u201d). Facing the problematic personhood may enable us to find meaning in relations with others, and face the future with hope.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4018\/ijt.2019010101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,23]],"date-time":"2018-10-23T14:56:32Z","timestamp":1540306592000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Philosophy, Past and Present"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Eleanor M.","family":"Godway","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Connecticut State University, Britain, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"IJT.2019010101-0","author":"M.Buber","year":"1965","journal-title":"Between man and man"},{"key":"IJT.2019010101-1","author":"M.Buber","year":"1970","journal-title":"I and thou"},{"key":"IJT.2019010101-2","author":"J.
