Ceronetti’s thought was deeply influenced by the lamentations of the Jewish soul, mostly the books Qohélet and Job. The judgment about the futility of reality and the theological scandal of evil are two topics which bring together Ceronetti and Cioran. This essay analyzes Qohélet’s legacy in Ceronetti and Cioran’s thought, focusing on three main themes: the idea of a “tragic wisdom”, Salomon’s skeptical tendency towards reality, and life’s futility.
