Lecture One: Visual Cultures Public Programme: A Fearless Look at the Unspeakable
Hope always exceeds what we know. In this paper, I argue that hope is a subjective attitude towards the present before being an attitude towards the future and that it relies on a blessing (a good word) that allows us to persevere, especially when there is no more reason to hope. This paper brings together readings of the Bible, the work of Emmanuel Levinas and the Marxist thinker Ernest Bloch.
Catherine Chalier is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris. She is the author of over thirty books written at the intersection of Hebrew Studies and philosophy. Her latest books in English are What Ought I to Do? (2011) and Reading the Torah (2017).
