Heschel's philosophical and religious view of man is that he is the immanent manifestation of the Divine in every phenomenon of the universe and in every human action.

Abraham Joshua Heschel thus identifies the basic poisoning of modern civilization: the eclipse of the Sacred. With this concept, he refers to the death of the "soul" of modern man. Thus, the outbreak of barbarism is not a surprise, but a dire consequence of the simulacrum of humanism that remained when human beings are no longer seen with the reference that is due to them. In this context, it is necessary to take into account the attempts to establish a dialogue with the new situation that modernity has brought to light: the dehumanization of man, seen above all in the historical context ofthe Holocaust. It is essential to consider the concept of self-discernment as a way of responding to human concerns in the face of the new values and new modern directives that plague the Jewish way of perceiving the world.
