Nadziejność. Wprowadzenie do fenomenologii nadziei podstawowej

The objective of the article is to raise anew the basic question about hope. A number of distinctions are introduced, such as between a positive hope and a negative hope, a passive and an active hope, and, most importantly, between hope with and without an object, the latter of which is recognized here as the basic phenomenon of hope. Additionally, a dialogical interpretation of hope is proposed, where the human ego is not so much the subject of its hope as the depositary of the hope of the Other. The relationships between hope and desire and hope and promising are also presented in brief.
