HISTORICAL AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVES O...

This open access volume makes an important contribution to the ongoing research on hope theory
by combining insights from both its long history and its increasing multi-disciplinarity. In
the first part  it recognizes the importance of the centuries-old reflection on hope by
offering historical perspectives and tracing it back to ancient Greek philosophy. At the same
time  it provides novel perspectives on often-overlooked historical theories and developments
and challenges established views. The second part of the volume documents the state of the art
of current research in hope across eight disciplines  which are philosophy  theology 
psychology  economy  sociology  health studies  ecology  and development studies. Taken
together  this volume provides an integrated view on hope as a multi-faced phenomenon. It
contributes to the further understanding of hope as an essential human capacity  with the
possibility of transforming our human societies.
