A Wise Man Reflecting on Wisdom: Qoheleth/Ecclesiastes
This paper looks at Qoheleth’s ambivalent attitude towards wisdom and being wise. At times wisdom is his presupposition, his strength, and his benchmark for judging everything; at other times he sees its limitations and relativity in the light of divine unpredictability and human death. This is not contradictory; rather, Qoheleth weighs up proverbs and provides an interpretation of them, fulfilling the description of him in 12:9. Whilst some see the Epilogist as critical of the wise, using Qoheleth’s own words to discredit the wisdom movement, I maintain that this is not the case; rather, the Epilogue reinforces Qoheleth’s approach to the wisdom task.
