It has been widely assumed that Heschel's writings are poetic
inspirations devoid of philosophical analysis and unresponsive to
the evil of the Holocaust. Who Is Man? (1965) contains a detailed
phenomenological analyis of man and being which is directed at the
main work of Martin Heidegger found primarily in Being and Time
(1927) and Letter on Humanism (1946). When the analysis of Who Is
Man? is unapacked in the light of these associations it is clear
that Heschel rejected poetry and metaphor as a means of theological
elucidation, that he offered a profound examination of the
Holocaust and that the major thrust of his thinking eschews
Heidegerrian deconstruction and the postmodernism that ensued in
its phenomenological wake. Who Is Man? contains direct and indirect
criticisms of Heidegger's notions of 'Dasein', 'thrownness',
'facticity' and 'submission' to name a few essential Heideggerian
concepts. In using his ontological connective method in opposition
to Heidegger's 'ontological difference', Heschel makes the argument
that the biblical notion of Adam as a being open to transcendence
stands in oppostion to the philosophical tradition from Parmenides
to Heidegger and is the only basis for a redemptive view of
humanity.
