Hopism is

Hopism is a cultural movement where everything is informed by hope. This movement, founded by Irish artist Evelyn Quinlan, was borne out of a global conscious of the financial crisis of 2007-2010. Visionary world leaders are quoted in everyday media; Obama 'yes we can' and Robinson 'comprehensive vision of what sort of society we want'.

History

Ricoeur’s secular understanding of faith when he applied it to history: “Faith in meaning, but in a meaning hidden from history, is thus both the courage to believe in a profound significance of the most tragic history (and therefore a feeling of confidence and resignation in the very heart of conflict) and a certain rejection of system and fanaticism, a sense of the open.” So, faith involves courage, confidence, and a coming to terms with human tragedy. It further combines a rejection of foundational systems and the possibility of absolute certainty with an openness to the possibility that one’s own life is, nevertheless, meaningful.
