What is hope? How is it different from hope? And what is the relationship between these two with optimism, optimism, and good imagination on the one hand and pessimism, despair, and pessimism on the other hand?
In a book that deals entirely with "hope", the author, Stan Van Hooft, tries to answer these questions from within the tradition that sees hope mainly as a moral and sometimes theological virtue. However, beyond this theoretical exploration, the author is trying to give meaning and objectivity to the expression that "man lives in hope". According to van Hooft, hope is something even more rooted and primitive than virtue. Hope is the fundamental structure of our existence and the way we live in a world full of risks and dangers. The existential importance of hope is so much that it can be said that our being is always in our hope.
These are the points that the author, in the form of different chapters and paragraphs of the book, tries to clarify by relying on examples from everyday life as well as more complex philosophical topics: the relationship between hope and desire, the rationality of hope, the realism of hope, and the exploration of the presence of hope in medical fields. , politics and religion, the pathology of hope, and in this connection, promises, millennialism, and other apocalyptic beliefs.
In an era where the need for hope is perhaps felt more than ever, every word that speaks to us about hope in any way deserves to be heard.
