Introduction: the path of moral philosophy and beyond
Part I. Human Hebel ('Vanity'): Sins of Collection: 1. 'I Qohelet was king' (1:12): the collector theme (1:12-2:26)
2. Fool's toil (1:2-3)
3. Excess and its passions (1:8-11)
4. A practical guide for living wisely
Part II. Universal Hebel ('Wind'): Transience, Time, and Indifference: 5. Cosmic patterns of return and renewal
6. The catalogue of human times (3:1-8)
Part III. The Hebel of 'Dis-aster': Totalities, Transcendence, and Crossover Concepts: 7. Totalities and the outside (dehors)
8. Living 'under the sun' and with transience
9. Breath of breaths: Qohelet's motto and theme and refrain: a Levinassian exegesis
Part IV. The Hebel of Words: 10. Nothing remains (1:3)? Nothing new (1:9
12:8-12)
Part V. Theological Conclusions: 11. Qohelet's very final words: a judging God, or judging God (12:13-14)
12. Qohelet's very first words: testifying against God and his 'evil' (1:13)
13. The 'all' of humans: fear God but also keep the Commandments (12:13)
Conclusions: singing in truth
Appendix: further notes and topics on breath research.
