Hope and the Power to Shape our Future
English 180
How do we find the will to act when things seem hopeless? Because we are agents who care, our relationship to the future is driven by emotions like hope, anxiety, and despair – not mere feelings, but evaluative states that orient us toward action. Drawing on philosophy and the science of emotion, this interactive seminar invites you to explore how to harness these emotions, individually and collectively, to bring about the futures you value.
