Does the 'Better' exist and is it possible to find it? (Qohelet 7:1-12)

Abstract

The Book of Qoehelt provides with spefic eudaimonic discourse. This issue is analysed in one paragraph chosen (Qoh 7:1-12).

As a result, it turns out that Qohelet is in his perception of 'Good' or 'Pleasure' close to sceptical tradition inspired by later Greek philosophy.
