Aristotle was certainly aware of the use of hyperbole (Rhetoric III.11.15) and, in Nicomachean Ethics (1127b25), he attributes the use of irony to Socrates. Perhaps, Ecclesiastes employs similar tropes. Since, according to Nestle and Aland's Greek text, Ecclesiastes is never explicitly quoted in the New Testament, the Logic of Christianity is not committed in any way to a specific reading, interpretation, or application of Ecclesiastes.Stan A.
