McCarroll, The End of Hope–The Beginning, 24–33, for similar and necessary foundations, objects or aims, and agencies for hope, including “waiting and receptivity,” for hope to be no mere wishful thinking or shadow boxing.

25. Ottati, Hopeful Realism, 3.There are others of course, who engage realism and hope in their own disciplined ways. See Fineman’s rich descriptions of the realities of vulnerability and further, resilience as a major mark of hope in human nature and our finite and flawed institutions, “The Vulnerable Subject and The Responsive State.”

See also The Schillebeeckx Reader, especially 18, 45, 54–59. Therein, Schreiter comments: “This (contrast experience) moment reveals the difference between what is and what ought to be or will be. The power of this moment [. . .] is in its negation of that difference; that is, moving away from what ought not to be (suffering in the present) toward what ought to be (a full sense of humanity, or humanum, in the future),” 45. See also Appendix B and Hessel, Time for Outrage Indignez-vous! especially 26–29, combining hope and resistance in fighting fascism in WW II and since. (italics added).

35. See Dorrien, “Society as the Subject of Redemption” in Economy, Difference, Empire, 5; though Dorrien’s many summaries and reflections on Niebuhr, his peers, and their era convey the influence of Niebuhr to be vast and certainly more than individualistic, as Chapter 3 of this same volume attests, “The Niebuhrian Legacy,” 46–65.

42. See Niebuhr, On Man’s Nature and His Communities, 31. An earlier elaboration professes: “A realism becomes morally cynical or nihilistic when it assumes that the universal characteristic in human behavior must be regarded as normative. The biblical account of human behavior, upon which Augustine bases his thought, can escape both illusion and cynicism because it recognizes that the corruption of human freedom may make a behavior pattern universal without making it normative. Good and evil are not determined by some fixed structure of human existence,” Niebuhr, Christian Realism and Political Problems, 130.
