Description

Hope is not primarily a form of awareness directed at the future. Rather, it is an awareness of the possibilities of the good. Hope is an endangered form of awareness, for it is susceptible to misunderstanding and misuse. This study examines the multi-faceted phenomenon of hope from various perspectives in European intellectual history. It reveals the possibilities and limits of hope while distinguishing between its viable and questionable forms.
