Description
Terry Eagleton's Hope Without Optimism is a thought-provoking exploration of hope as it has been conceptualised over six millennia. Eagleton distinguishes hope from optimism, cheeriness and other related concepts, arguing that authentic hope requires reflection, commitment and clear-sighted rationality. This book brings together centuries of thought on the many modes of hoping, including the work of Ernst Bloch, the Stoics, Aquinas, Marx and Kierkegaard. Through its penetrating analysis, Hope Without Optimism sheds new light on issues such as religious faith, political ideology, the problem of evil, language and the meaning of the past.
