Interpretation by dali48
Ernst Bloch - philosopher of hope: the human being is a being of lack for EB - But one that has the ability to desgn utopia from this defect - This "principle of hope" the philosopher has tried to prove in all areas of life and placed his own hopes on socialism - But he disillusioned turned his back on the GDR in 1961... - "Hope is the opposite of naive optimism"! - Bloch approves as well utopian content to religion - But as most religions promise the fulfillment of its utopias to the faithful only for the afterlife - they have a stabilizing effect on daily life - according to Bloch and are therefore ideological - He therefore calls for the visions, which are articulated in religions, to take seriously, but to work to realize them on earth - This goes so far that Bloch even spends the dream of immortality - which expresses itself in the belief of resurrection - as a distant utopia in this world... - Ernst Bloch has given by his own life testimony to the principle of hope...
