Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Bob and Isabel stayed at the restaurant for hours simply because they were enjoying each other's conversation suggests a deeper personal connection between them than just a polite or functional relationship (I-It or It). The concept of I-Thou, from philosopher Martin Buber, refers to a relationship where individuals see each other as whole beings and engage with each other on a deep, personal level. This seems to be the case with Bob and Isabel, making choice C the best option.
