Terry Eagleton teases apart the concept of hope as it has been (often mistakenly) conceptualised over six millennia, from ancient Greece to today. Traversing centuries of thought about the many modes of hoping ' from Ernst Bloch's monumental work through the Stoics, Aquinas, Marx and Kierkegaard, among others ' this penetrating book throws new light on religious faith and political ideology as well as issues such as the problem of evil, the role of language and the meaning of the past. Hope Without Optimism is a brilliantly engaged, impassioned chronicle of human belief and desire in an increasingly uncertain world.
