Hope in a Democratic Age: Philosophy, Religion, and Political Theory
Mittleman, Alan (, Professor of Jewish Philosophy and Chair, Department of Jewish Thought, The Jewish Theological Seminary, New York)
A compelling new philosophical study of hope as a resource for the tasks of citizenship in a liberal, democratic society. It contends that the modern philosophical construction of hope as an emotion is deficient; it reconstructs the medieval understanding of hope as a virtue in a contemporary philosophical idiom.
