Abstract:
Time in the Book of Wisdom is a significant element of the structure of the cosmos, nature and life. The author deals with these areas because he is faced with the theses of the various philosophical schools of his time, which treated these areas. He deals with general aspects of time, particular points in time, and the course of times and periods. In addition to issues of natural philosophy, the author examines religious questions. The author asks about the meaning of dying at a young age. He sees the solution to this problem in eschatology and above all in immortality. For God is the lord beyond death and forever (eternity). In general, the author analyzes the arguments of his contemporaries, which in his opinion are repeatedly misleading, against the background of divine revelation, although he by no means strictly adheres to tradition. Rather, he always offers unexpected and new ideas.
