The Virtue of Hope
Ethical Theory and Moral Practice 18 (2):337-354 (2015)
Abstract
I argue that hope is a virtue insofar as it leads to a more realistic view of the future than dispositions like optimism and pessimism, promotes courage, and encourages an important kind of solidarity with others. In light of this proposal, I consider the relationship between hope and our beliefs about what is good as well as the conditions under which hope may fail to be a virtueAuthor's Profile
