Three Philosophies of Life: Ecclesiastes—Life As Vanity, Job—Life As Suffering, Song of Songs—Life As Love
by Peter Kreeft
by Peter Kreeft
I like the general idea of classifying philosophies or ways of living based on Ecclesiastes (existential despair), Job (perservering in suffering), and the Song of Songs (ecstatic faith). This is really a good book, and Kreeft is a good thinker.
He seems to be trying to emulate G.K. Chesterton, which is an admirable endeavor, but some of the Chestertonian paradoxes and ironies are a little heavy-handed.
