Is a Sociology of Hope Possible? An Attempt to Recompose a Theoretical Framework and a Research Programme

Abstract: The societal changes of the last century, especially in the aftermath of World War II, have led thinkers to imagine philosophical anthropology centred on the concept of hope. From very different perspectives, authors such as Ernst Bloch, Erich Fromm, and Hannah Arendt understood that hope is deeply connected with the condition and destiny of humanity.
