The Book of Proverbs falls under the designation of Wisdom Literature (the biblical books of Job and Ecclesiastes are other examples), as does philosophy. Given that this book is authored by Solomon, who reigned in Israel from 971 to 931 BC, we would be hard pressed to make the case that it was the Greeks who invented philosophy, as I was always told.

As an elementary school student, I remember reading for the first time Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe. I was captivated by Crusoe’s solitary ingenuity on the island, his trips back and forth to the foundered ship, his reconstruction of civilized life from the fundaments.
