In order to examine fully the nature of human beings, Paul Ricoeur
crossed disciplinary boundaries in his work, moving from
phenomenology to social and political thought, hermeneutics, and
ethics. Running throughout Ricoeur's work - particularly Fallible
Man, Time and Narrative, Oneself as Another, and his shorter pieces
on hermeneutics, ethics, and religion - is a theme of the human
capacity for hope. According to Ricoeur, hope is a capacity of
expectation, oriented toward some future action, which aims at a
good for self and others. The conditions for the possibility of
hope are the unity and difference that exist within the self in
transcendental, practical, and effective realms, and the self's
ability to narrate, which is made possible by the self's existence
within, and understanding of, time. Our capacity for hope is
understood via the symbols of good and evil found in myths and
sacred writings. Furthermore, hope is not limited to those who are
religious; atheists may be just as hopeful as the devout. Exploring
the nature of hope in Ricoeur's work allows for a greater
understanding of hope and a greater ability to cultivate hope in
oneself and others.
