From the now iconic Barack Obama 'Hope' poster of the 2008 presidential campaign to the pit-head 'Camp Hope' of the families of the trapped Chilean miners, the language of hope can be hugely powerful as it draws on resources that are uniquely human and universal. We are beings who hope. But what does that say about us? What is hope and what role does it play in our lives? In his fascinating and thought-provoking investigation into the meaning of hope, Stan van Hooft shows that hope is a fundamental structure of the way we live our lives. For Aristotle being hopeful was part of a well-lived life, a virtue. For Aquinas it was a fundamentally theological virtue and for Kant a basic moral motivation. It shapes how we view ourselves and the world in which we live. Whether we hope for a life after death or for good weather tomorrow - whether our hopes are grand or humble - hoping is part of our outlook on life. What we hope for defines who we are. Drawing on everyday examples as well as more detailed discussion of hope in the arenas of medicine, politics and religion, van Hooft shows how hopefulness in not the same as hope and offers a convincing and powerful defense of the need for realism. There are few contemporary philosophical discussions of hope and Stan van Hooft's book offers an accessible and insightful discussion of the topic that shows the relevance of philosophical thinking and distinctions to this important aspect of human life.

Hope permeates our lives at every hour and minute of the day; we live with and in hope, even though we sometimes meet with disappointment when our hopes fall short of their realization. We hope for good health and happiness in the lives of our families, friends, and others. We hope for peace in the world, even though politicians thrust us into wars to boost their ratings and to save their careers at the expense of our lives while they stay home safe and protected. We hope for fewer natural disasters-tornadoes, droughts, fires, and floods. We are always trying to keep up hope in the face of the failures and tragedies of life and living. We hope for frivolous things, too. So hope is a ubiquitous concept that we employ all the time without ever stopping to reflect on its role in shaping our lives. In this book I discuss the nature of hope and the role of desire, belief, and optimism in shaping our hopes. I also discuss the phenomenology of hope, what it feels like to entertain hope. I then discuss the role of false hopes and self-deception in contributing to, and setting up the individual for hopelessness and despair, the antitheses of hope. I close with the observation that there is always hope for a better world and life beyond that of frustration, hopelessness, and despair. Sunrise, daylight, and hope will always follow the gloom and darkness of hopelessness and despair. So we should never give up hope or give in to despair in the face of whatever difficulties may be challenging us in life, because there is always hope for a way up and out of the dark pit of hopelessness and despair that lead to failure in life, but we have to work hard for the realization of that hope.
A colourful map of the current conflict between pessimism and optimism in Western politics and theory, Hope attempts to reveal both the deep history and contemporary necessity of political hopefulness. Starting in the 17th century with Spinoza, Wortham tells the story of the various fallacies and insights of pessimism and optimism through the 18th century with the help of Kant and Voltaire through to the famously nihilistic writings of Nietzsche and the 20th century works of thinkers such as Benjamin, Arendt, Kristeva and Fanon (to name but a few). He explores the contemporary significance of ideas such as affirmation, sovereignty, violence, therapy, existentialism and, of course, the oft maligned notion of 'hopefulness' to create a politics of optimism which avoids the pitfalls of uncritical acceptance of the status quo or the newest political idea. Short chapters written in an engaging narrative manner enable the reader to follow the story of political optimism over the last 4 centuries inspiring a new way of thinking about the transformative uses of hopefulness.
