English summary: The Book of Qohelet is still mysterious and challenging. Disguised as King Solomon, a philosopher and scribe reflects how wisdom can be found, how God can be perceived. Within the book, traditional Jewish Wisdom and Hellenistic philosophy intermingle and Qohelet deconstructs both of them. He presents his argument as a dialogue between a fictitious author and an unknown audience. The audience is drawn into the dialogue and challenged to take position. Melanie Kohmoos focuses on the literary structure and its strategies in this commentary on the Book of Qohelet. German description: Das Buch Kohelet (oder Prediger) gehort zu den ratselhaftesten Buchern des Alten Testaments. In der Maske des weisen Konigs Salomo reflektiert ein Philosoph und Schriftgelehrter die Fragen nach der Moglichkeit der Erkenntnis und einem gelungenen Leben. Die beiden Positionen der traditionellen fruhjudischen Weisheitslehre und der hellenistischen Philosophie werden in literarisch und inhaltlicher ganz eigenartiger Weise de-konstruiert. Melanie Kohlmoos zeichnet die Argumentationsweise des Buches nach und zeigt, wie der Prediger seine Leserschaft in ein Gesprach verwickelt und zur eigenstandigen Stellungnahme auffordert.
