The author discusses the views of six philosophers: Nietzsche, Heidegger, Adorno, Deleuze, Derrida and Meillassoux, which were essential to the attempt to create the philosophy of radical hope. He also explores Bloch's thoughts, whose ideas cannot be omitted, as well as the works of Agamben, even though his views are not usually associated with hope. He also outlines his own philosophy of radical hope, which refers to hermeneutics.
