A Dew(eyan) Hope (Colloquium)

Johnathan Flowers (@shengokai), American University



"Abstract-in-a-tweet": I draw on John Dewey to understand hope as the felt sense of possibility in the world. To be hopeful, therefore, is to have a sense of positive possibility; hoplessness is a sense of restricted possibility or restricted capacity to make the possible actual.
