Who Is Man?
Book • 1965
In 'Who Is Man?', Abraham Joshua Heschel explores the fundamental question of what it means to be human.
Through three lectures originally delivered at Stanford University in 1963, Heschel examines the logic of being human, the grounds for justifying humanity, and the existential mystery of man as a person.
He discusses man's unique position between God and beasts, emphasizing human freedom, responsibility, and the ongoing drama of creation and redemption.
The book challenges readers to reconsider the authentic human identity beyond mere biological existence.
