GEN252 [Compare Genesis 1:27-28]. Rabbi Joseph Ber Soloveitchik Lonely Man of Faith names these two creatures “Adam the first” and “Adam the second” and gives us a picture of the difference between them.  The Adam of the first creation story was given the mandate of living in the world and subduing it, while the second Adam had a living soul breathed into a body and was told to cultivate and protect a garden: “While Adam the first is dynamic and creative, transforming sensory data into thought constructs, Adam the second is receptive and beholds the world in its original dimensions.  He looks for the image of God not in the mathematical formula or the natural relational law but in every beam of light, in every bud and blossom, in the morning breeze and the stillness of starlit evening.”  These two Adams are not meant to be understood as different types of people but rather as two dimensions that live within – and often struggle within – each of us.  MORINIS 38-9
