«El espíritu de la esperanza» is the philosophical essay by Byung-Chul Han, published by Herder Editorial in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Faced with scenarios such as wars, mass migrations, attacks, climate catastrophes, crises and pandemics, Byung-Chul Han presents hope as an active force, not a passive feeling: a way of existing that opens future times and makes new events possible when they seemed impossible.
Original title: «Der Geist der Hoffnung. Wider die Gesellschaft der Angst». Translation by Alberto Ciria. With works by Anselm Kiefer.
For readers of contemporary philosophy and social essays, especially those who have read Byung-Chul Han's previous essays.
