Criticism of " Solomon's Ecclesiastes" Based on the Relationship between Theosophy and Beauty(Jamal)
Author(s):
Abstract:
Solomon's Ecclesiastes is attributed to Prophet Solomon. As the Bible testifies, Solomons theosophy was a God-given theosophy. However, unwise viewpoints, such as determinism, nihilism, hedonism, pessimism, and hopelessness are attributed to him in this book. By making a semantic review and analysis of the term "theosophy" together with the inspiration of pure Islamic culture and adding the element of beauty we can get a more precise meaning of theosophy. According to this semantic change, Solomon's Ecclesiastes can be screened and the meaning of the theosophy, which Prophet Solomon requested from God, can be reread. Thus, the two kinds of theosophy, i.e. emanating theosophy and instructive theosophy constitute the origin of beauty and beauty constitute the manifestation of theosophy. In fact a real theosopher views the whole universe with respect and the whole system of creation seems to him beautiful and best. Therefore, the idea of attributing unwise attitudes to Prophet Solomon in this book is unacceptable because it does not conform with the idea that theosophy was bestowed upon him through divine grace.
