Ethics in Global Crisis -- Bibliography -- Index 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. Marcel's 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 Marcel's existentialism as a convincing, relevant moral theory; founded on the creation of hope, interwoven with the individual's response to the death of God. Jill Hernandez argues that today's 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 materialismBloomsbury studies in continental philosophy.Existential ethicsPhilosophyExistential ethics.171/.2Graper Hernandez Jill1522021UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910781962003321Gabriel Marcel's ethics of hope3761532UNINA01215nam2 22003131i 450 UON0024648220231205103613.63788-420-5670-720031201d1999 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||MateraCosimo Damiano Fonseca, Rosalba Demetrio, Grazia GuadagnoRoma ;BariLaterza1999XII, 169 p.24 cm.001UON000886412001 ˆLe ‰citta' nella storia d'Italiadirettore Cesare De Seta210 RomaBariLaterza[19..]215 v. cmMATERA STUDIUONC045081FIITRomaUONL000004ITBariUONL000072FonsecaCosimo DamianoUONV0217210DEMETRIORosalbaUONV1484329977GUADAGNOGraziaUONV1484339979LaterzaUONV276725650ITSOL20250509RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00246482SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI EUR C A 0753 SI SC 39001 5 0753 Matera352734UNIOR
