Statement: Aristotle states that one cannot truly hope (ευελπις) unless one has experienced fear.
A person who hopes for a positive outcome but does not act courageously in the face of his or her fear is, according to Aristotle, not really hoping. The act of courage in the face of fear, of willingness to recognise one’s vulnerability and pursue one’s goal anyway—is the agency required in the hope system.
Description: A full moon in February, in the Southern Hemisphere, 2016.
