Throughout the annals of research history, Nietzsche and Qohelet have often crossed paths. This intersection is made possible by the similarity of thought prevalent in both texts which both evaluate the state of human existence in the face of paradigm shifts. Humanity has an existential need to create meaning and ascribe value. When both meaning and value begin to erode, it is our task to reevaluate them and overcome that state of decadence. This thesis explores the various ways in which vanity in Qohelet can be re-read as active nihilism in an attempt to move away from the conventional connotations of hebel as pessimism. One such an example is to fuse African existential philosophy with this re-reading of Qohelet as active nihilism. It is the conclusion of this thesis that hebel in Qohelet can be re-read as worthlessness and not meaninglessness, thereby inferring value instead of vanity. As a result, active nihilism can also be applied to the post-postmodern philosophy of mindfulness. ae2026 Old Testament Studies PhD Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-16: Peace, justice and strong institutions 2020-07-15T13:09:14Z 2020-07-15T13:09:14Z 2020/04/08 2019 Thesis Mokoena, LLD 2019, Another meaning is possible : a re-reading of hebel in Qohelet, PhD Thesis, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/75266> A2020 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/75266 en © 2020 University of Pretoria.
