The “Ontology of Hope” of Ernst Bloch’s Philosophy System

Ernst Bloch is the first Western philosopher to take the concept of “hope (Hoffnung)” as the core of his philosophy system, and to take “hope” as the core concept to construct his own distinctive “hope philosophy”. “Philosophy of hope” is dissatisfied with reducing the human survival structure only to history and reality, so it excavates the existential significance of hope, goes deep into the possibility, potential, and transcendence in the human existence structure, and lays the foundation of the human survival structure with the future dimension of “surpassing the existing and grasping the potential.” By analyzing the “philosophy of hope”, the study can deepen the understanding of people as the “subject of hope.”
