One who seeks peace and friendship needs to ignore reservation، stick to a moral code and has deep faith. Humans، from ancient times، have thought about peace and advance some solutions. Tearing the past rules apart، in modern times، resulted in rethinking about the relations between men. As some scholars، such as Durkheim، said، it is important because the relationship of humans have been subjected to change. Nowadays، studying this subject has been from a nonreligious and profane point of view، but there are some philosophers who think of correlation of men based on a religious ground. Such views try to define a new relationship between humans based on man-God relation and from a sacred viewpoint. One of these thinkers in our time is Martin Buber، who thinks about the relationship subject. He holds that to establish a true and real connection، we should give up instrumental approaches. For him، true relation of human beings should see “other” as a goal in itself، as Kant held. Thus، any instrumental attitude interferes with this goal. Buber’s theory emphasizes on the existential relation of individuals and asserts that dialogue is the essential component of it. As to explain this، Buber distiguishes between two kind of relations: me-thou، and، me-it; which our approach in each of them is different. Seeing “other” as “thou” is an existential and independent attitude which carries a kind of openness toward a different “other” and wants to obtain a true knowledge of them.

Martin Buber, a contemporary Jewish thinker and religious scholar, has emphasized both aspects of such a relationship and has tried to recognize at least two fundamental types of human relationships, both in his connection with his fellow human beings and in the form of his relationship with God and even nature.
The claim of the present writing is that peace, as an authentic and yet essential goal for human life, requires solid anthropological foundations based on authentic encounter and interaction with fellow human beings, in such a way that the relationship formed goes beyond their instrumentalization, a matter that has been appropriately addressed in the views of Martin Buber.
For this reason, Buber attempts, by resorting to a mystical tradition in the Jewish religion, to achieve a redefinition of the ontological relationship regarding the proportion between man and God. In fact, Buber aims to escape the monopoly of specifically positivist methods for human knowledge, both in facing humans and in relation to God, and to be able to adopt a new and more authentic knowledge for this purpose.
However, this important matter, meaning the authentic relation between humans, is not created without connection and relation to other human relations, including with God. Of course, it seems that in every creed and thought, whether explicitly stated or implicitly expressed, the type of relationship of man with these two others is not completely and entirely distinct from each other, and the effects of each are influential on the relationship with the other.
