The unification of the soul, or the gathering of the scattered self, is an indication, not the goal, of the Good, or else it would turn evil. This text shows how Buber's later renditions of Hasidic stories and his translation of Scripture are permeated with the struggle for a "unity of the hearth": not as an actual accomplishment but as an absence, a desire, something coming to us from the future.

Abstract
The unification of the soul, or the gathering of the scattered self, is an indication, not the goal, of the Good, or else it would turn evil. This text shows how Buber's later renditions of Hasidic stories and his translation of Scripture are permeated with the struggle for a "unity of the hearth": not as an actual accomplishment but as an absence, a desire, something coming to us from the future.
