Reviews
The Moral Psychology of Hope touches on many novel themes in the contemporary scholarship on hope. It is a must-read for anyone interested in historical and religious dimensions of hope, in the philosophical analysis of what it means to hope, including its connection to the emotions, and in the role of hope within social movements. -- Luc Bovens, Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
This volume is a significant contribution to the new wave of cross-disciplinary research on hope and despair -- in philosophy, psychology, religion, political theory, and education. The focus here on hope's (alleged) capacity to sustain our moral and political resolve is especially welcome - and timely!
-- Andrew Chignell, University Center for Human Values at Princeton University
