Hope Against Hope in Cancer at the End of Life

Hope has many facets to it in the context of cancer. This article outlines an instrumental case study for a patient with aggressive lymphoma who rapidly deteriorated to the point of dying. How her and her family’s hope was managed is outlined here from various perspectives. Interviews were carried out with the patient’s family, medical consultant-in-charge (attending physician) and nurses caring for her at the end of life. The findings outline the transition from hope for cure to hope for a good death and the role that the patient and family’s Christian hope played in this. Religiosity and spirituality of hope in terms of Christian hope is explored from the theological perspective. Practical aspects of care in the face of changing hope are discussed. Conclusions are drawn about reframing hope in a changing clinical situation with reference to theories of hope. The importance of acknowledging hope, coping, spirituality and religiosity, especially at end of life, is emphasised.     

Pedagogies of Hope

Hoping is an integral part of what it is to be human, and its significance for education has been widely noted. Hope is, however, a contested category of human experience and getting to grips with its characteristics and dynamics is a difficult task. The paper argues that hope is not a singular undifferentiated experience and is best understood as a socially mediated human capacity with varying affective, cognitive and behavioural dimensions. Drawing on the philosophy, theology and psychology of hope, five modes of hoping are outlined: patient, critical, sound, resolute and transformative. The key aim of the paper is to illustrate how different modes of hoping are associated with different pedagogical strategies. Phrased differently, the paper seeks to delineate a range of pedagogies of hope. The phrase ‘pedagogy of hope’ is very much associated with critical theory—one thinks instantly of, for example, Paulo Freire, Henry Giroux or bell hooks. There are many pedagogies of hope, however, and an explicitly conservative text such as William Bennett’s Book of Virtues has as strong a claim to the title as Freire’s radical and utopian ideas. A broader argument, therefore, is that there is nothing inherently radical or subversive about a pedagogy of hope. Pedagogies of hope can serve to reproduce social relations as well as to transform them.     

希望哲学

本文认为,那种一味强调现实性,把一切都还原为现实性的哲学,是密纳发的猫头鹰的哲学,我们应该以希望哲学代替猫头鹰哲学.希望就是虚拟,希望就是战斗.希望塑造命运,希望改变命运.虽然希望不可能绝对逃避失望,但克服人生道路上重重阻力和平息各种叹息的勇气,不在于无限吹胀人的主体性,而在于对人的有限性的意识和主动积极接受有限性这一必然性事实的态度.人既是有限的,也是无限的.人生最大最高的希望应是超越有限,达到无限,与万物为一.     

寄望青年

近几年来在水磨沟清泉寺,红山大佛寺等寺庙里,人们不时可以见到一些打扮入时的青年男女,虔诚地匍伏在佛像面前,双目紧闭,双手合十,口中念念有词,祈求神灵的“启示”上天“保佑”。还有许多青年在盲目追求西方文化过程中,不可避免地受到了基督教思想文化的影响,进教堂、带十字架一时成为一种时尚。为什么这些青年误入宗教迷途呢?笔者认为,出现青年信奉宗教原因是多方面的,应当进行具体的分析。     

From Violence to Hope

Since the Columbine horror in Colorado, the problem of violence in our society and its roots in human evolution have evoked deep soul-searching in sensitive people. We in the behavioral sciences and theology are asking what we can do to slow or stop the downward spiral of killing and brutality. How inevitable is it? What new factors impinge on this age-old problem of our species? What help is available from research in criminology, child-development, brain studies and modern psychiatry? There are scientifically established ways of reinforcing in the human subject the reality of empathic love which Chistianity has so long proclaimed to be God's answer to our human dilemma. This paper speaks to these issues.

危机中的希望——2009年新年献词

2009年的冬天,人间似乎格外寒冷。郁积已久的金融危机使所有的传播媒体几乎都充斥着“救助”、“裁员”、“破产”、“倒闭”之类的字眼。华尔街这座眼中的金山、银海,突然崩塌和呼啸起来。塌落的不仅是股票的面值,还有人们对建造这座金山的制度的信心,对经管这座金山的人们的信任。因为在银海呼啸的浪潮里,翻出了以往被掩盖的腐朽：圣贤原是骗子,英雄乃是罪犯。
