I just finished "The Denial of Death" (Becker) that contains a lot about Kierkegaard in his role as a kind of early psychoanalyst. I recommend this book if you want to know a bit more about Freud, Jung and Kierkeegard. (And about being human I suppose.)
Also isn't "Ecclesiastes" a book of the Bible? What's a good resource to find out more? Any good introductions or commentary?
- adaisadais 6y agoI would highly recommend downloading the ESV Bible app (or reading it in browser https://www.esv.org/Ecclesiastes+1/ https://www.esv.org/Ecclesiastes+1/). The book is a relatively short read and I find it to be fascinating. “Koholeth” is about 1300 years ahead of the existentialist but like Kieregaard he ultimately makes some decisions on what the meaning of existence may be. Old Hebrew Scholar, Robert Alter, called the book “the most peculiar” of all the books in the Old Testament. I hope you enjoy :)
