Gabriel Marcel's Ethics of Hope

Gabriel Marcel's Ethics of Hope

Jill Graper Hernandez

Continuum Publishing Corporation
2011

The idea of hope has received significant attention in the political sphere recently. But is hope just wishful thinking, or can it be something more than a political catch-phrase? This book argues that hope can be understood existentially, or on the basis of what it means to be human. Under this conception of hope, given to us by Gabriel Marcel, hope is not optimism, but the creation of ways for us to flourish. War, poverty and an absolute reliance on technology are real-life evils that can suffocate hope. Marcels thought provides a way to overcome these negative experiences. An ethics of hope can function as an alternative to isolation, dread, and anguish offered by most existentialists. This book presents Marcels existentialism as a convincing, relevant moral theory; founded on the creation of hope, interwoven with the individuals response to the death of God. Jill Hernandez argues that todays reader of Marcel can resonate with his belief that the experience of pain can be transcended through a philosophy of hope and an escape from materialism.

Gabriel's Covenant

Forensic anthropologist Erica Braxton, Joshua's daughter and a quadriplegic, downs a lethal barbituate in the opening scene of Gabriel's Covenant. Forty-five minutes later Frau Schroder, a registered anesthetist in Zurich, pronounces her dead. Joshua could have stopped the killing . . . her assisted suicide. He chooses not to. Why? There is an answer. It's buried inside Joshua and becomes curiously tangled in the history of Gabriel's Crossing, a rural Thornton Wilder, Grover's Corners kind of place where the living and the dead are sometimes not remembered, for reasons buried deep within the collective conscience of one family, the Armstrongs. 100% of author royalties from the paperback sales of Gary Watson's three books go to the Elephant Crisis Fund set up by Wildlife Conservation Network and Save the Elephants. This innovative fund operates using a no-overhead model allowing 100% of all funds raised to go directly to the best, most urgent, and most innovative actions on the ground by organizations great and small to stop the killing of elephants throughout Africa.
