Paperback. Zustand: Good. 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.…

Brossura. Zustand: new. Milano, 2017; br., pp. 168. (Il Viandante). Da "Hope" della campagna presidenziale di Barack Obama nel 2008 a "Camp Hope" delle famiglie dei minatori cileni intrappolati, il linguaggio della speranza sa essere estremamente potente, poiché attinge a risorse che sono unicamente umane e universali. Noi siamo esseri che sperano. Ma questo cosa dice di noi? Che cos'è la speranza e quale ruolo gioca nelle nostre vite? In questa stimolante indagine sul significato di speranza, Stan van Hooft mostra che essa è una struttura fondamentale della nostra vita. Per Aristotele la speranza è una virtù che fa parte della nostra vita. Per Tommaso d'Aquino è una virtù fondamentalmente teologica e per Kant uno stimolo morale. Essa determina il nostro modo di vedere noi stessi e il mondo in cui viviamo. Sia che speriamo in una vita dopo la morte o in una giornata di bel tempo, sia che le nostre speranze siano elevate o umili, sperare fa parte del nostro modo di vedere la vita. Quello in cui speriamo indica chi siamo. Per mezzo di esempi di vita quotidiana e attraverso una trattazione dettagliata della speranza nell'ambito della medicina, della politica e della religione, l'autore ne presenta i vari aspetti. Distinguendo tra speranza e blando ottimismo, pia illusione e certezza che le cose andranno bene, egli mostra che la speranza è una virtù che vede il mondo cosi com'è, senza presunzione, o ingenuità, o disperazione. Questo libro parla di un argomento poco discusso e offre una trattazione accessibile e profonda di questo aspetto importante della nostra vita umana. Libro.…
