In this thesis, the phenomenon of fundamental hope is understood as
atmosphere. As a metaphor, hope as atmosphere finds a new
expression of hope other than the light-metaphor that dominates the
discourse of hope. Hope is not only the light that illuminates the
dark moments of life, but also, more fundamentally, in the air, it
lies in the sphere in-between and saturates each life experience
and every living moment. As an existential reality, hope as
atmosphere reveals our hopeful way of atmospheric co-existence.
Communal love constitutes the ground of this hopeful co-existence,
it keeps the hopeful co-existence constantly refreshed and open,
guaranteeing more possibilities of hope. On the basis of communal
love, hopeful co-existence shows its ontological meaning as a way
towards life. The thesis of hope as atmosphere finds resonance and
expression not only in Christian trinitarianly based understanding
of hope, but also in the most central doctrine of co-humanity in
Confucianism.
