About this episode
In this episode, Dru Johnson explores Arthur Keefer’s comparative work between wisdom and philosophical traditions. The Book of Proverbs and Virtue Ethics (Cambridge University Press) examines Proverbs alongside later Greek virtue development in moral philosophy, including recent iterations of virtue ethics. His most recent work—Ecclesiastes and the Meaning of Life in the Ancient World (CUP)—takes a similar tack by asking questions from contemporary and ancient ”meaning of life” philosophies and seeing how Qohelet answers those quandaries (or doesn’t).
