WHERE SHALL WISDOM BE FOUND? By Harold Bloom. pp. Riverhead Books. $ HAROLD BLOOM'S latest book is a personal tour of writers he treasures, from the Hebrew sages to Nietzsche and Proust. Where shall wisdom be found? Harold Bloom finds it in the same place as the question -- the Book of Job -- as well as in Ecclesiastes and the writings of Plato, Homer, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Montaigne, Bacon, Samuel Johnson, Goethe, Emerson, Nietzsche, Freud, Proust, St. Augustine and in the Gospel of Thomas. Emulating one of his favorite critics, Dr. Samuel Johnson, Bloom returns once more to sift through the Western canon, this time to discern and describe those writers whose brand of wisdom he holds in highest esteem. Beginning with Job and Ecclesiastes, and ranging from Plato, Homer, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Montaigne, Francis Bacon, Johnson and Goethe to Emerson, Nietzsche, Freud and Proust.

the answer to the question: `Where shall wisdom be found?' posed in the book of Job, is: In the fear of god, or, as professor bloom particularizes the deity, yahweh. yahweh, and the fear of him, is also found in the book of Job, as well as in other holy books: the Torah, the Kabala, the Bible, and commentaries written by rabbis. About Where Shall Wisdom Be Found? A critical novel about the ways in which we absorb various forms of wisdom from the literature we consume, from the author The New York Times calls “the most influential critic of the last quarter-century.”. In one of his most inspiring books yet, Harold Bloom, our preeminent literary critic, takes the reader from the Bible through the twentieth century, searching for the ways literature can inform lives. Wisdom is there to be found, in Job and Koheleth, in the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Thomas, in Cervantes and in Shakespeare. If your quest is for wisdom within the bounds of reason, rather than of wonder, then go back to Plato and his progeny, down through David Hume to Wittgenstein. Plato, I think, would have approved the reservations concerning Shakespeare expressed by Hume and by Wittgenstein.
