The Moral Psychology of Hope, Hardback Book

Hardback

Description

That we can hope is one of the capacities that define us as human beings.

To hope means not just to have beliefs about what will happen, but to imagine the future as potentially fulfilling some of our most important wishes.

It is therefore not surprising that hope has received attention by philosophers, psychologists and by religious thinkers throughout the ages.

The contributions in this volume, written by leading scholars in the philosophy of hope, gives a systematic overview over the philosophical history of hope, about contemporary debates and about the role of hope in our collective life.
