Constructing a"Forward-Looking Materialism":Bloch's Existential Theory of Hope
Traditional philosophy,rooted in the theory of existence,focuses solely on existing existence and eternal existence,neglecting or even excluding the yet-to-exist and possible existence.Consequently,traditional philosophy has always lacked a future dimension,and the possible problems of the future have not entered the agenda of philosophy.Bloch's existential theory of hope is contrary to the actual ontology of traditional philosophy by transforming"hope"from an expression of will into a category of existence."Hope"not only exists,but also drives existence;"hope"is not only subjective but also objective.Because"hope"expresses a future possibility to be realized.Bloch's existential theory of hope is based on the utopian spirit and the various utopian designs that have appeared in human history.For the first time in the history of philosophy,it pioneered a philosophical proof of the possibility of the future.This existential theory of hope attempt to place hope in the intersection of subjectivity and objectivity gives an innovative interpretation of utopia,which not only transforms philosophy in a unique way but also inevitably leaves behind the problem of hybridity in its philosophical proofs.
