Programme

Can we still hope? What does it mean “to hope”? The course aims to investigate the question of hope and the problem of the future starting from the utopian conception of Ernst Bloch. After reading some pages of Bloch’s “Spirit of Utopia”, we will examine the phenomenology of hope in the individual and historical path.
