The first half of this introduction to Qoheleth reads the book as a record of ideas mulled over by a dandy at a series of salons. While scholars have attempted to impose order on the bookâs structure and classify it according to genres, I formulate an understanding of the speakerâs lively wisdom from the extraneous voices of John Galsworthy, Beau Brummell and Oscar Wilde. Thomas Carlyleâs Sartor Resartus (The Tailor Retailored) serves as a model of fictional philosophy that allows us to appreciate Qohelethâs existential concerns as both ironic and serious. I keep references to biblical commentaries at bay and create a typology within which the biblical sage comes to life as a social creature of comfort. Part II will draw a specific parallel between the bookâs first chapter and a collage by the conceptual dandy Marcel Duchamp. For the moment Qohelethâs charms are given a fresh face via creative interdisciplinary comparison.â©

See 12.9 and Thomas Krüger, Qoheleth: A Commentary (trans. O.C. Dean; Minneapolis: Fortress, 2004), p. 207 n. 9e, for the sense of ×קת as âput into a good order, arrange a collection of proverbs (thus HALOT)â â and thus my âsuit outâ.

Carlyle, pp. 218-19. The colonial name for the native southern African is now considered pejorative â as might be the generalization about the size of his backside. But Carlyle is in fact mocking the fashionable white manâs affected tone and his assumption that there is a single and superior âdelicate tasteâ. I leave it to the reader to determine whether or not âposterial luxurianceâ is necessarily a negative physical characteristic.
Carlyle, p. 179.
Carlyle, p. 24.
Carlyle, pp. 211-12.
