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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Moral Psychology of Hope touches on many novel themes in the contemporary scholarship on hope. It is a must-read for anyone interested in historical and religious dimensions of hope, in the philosophical analysis of what it means to hope, including its connection to the emotions, and in the role of hope within social movements. -- Luc Bovens, Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is a significant contribution to the new wave of cross-disciplinary research on hope and despair -- in philosophy, psychology, religion, political theory, and education. The focus here on hope’s (alleged) capacity to sustain our moral and political resolve is especially welcome – and timely! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -- Andrew Chignell, University Center for Human Values at Princeton University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
