The Principle of Hope is one of the great works of the human spirit. It is a critical history of the utopian vision and a profound exploration of the possible reality of utopia. Even as the world has rejected the doctrine on which Bloch sought to base his utopia, his work still challenges us to think more insightfully about our own visions of a better world.
The Principle of Hope is published in three volumes: Volume 1 lays the foundations of the philosophy of process and introduces the idea of the Not-Yet-Conscious -- the anticipatory element that Bloch sees as...

"I am. We are. That is enough. Now we have to start." These are the opening words of Ernst Bloch's first major work, "The Spirit of Utopia, " written mostly in 1915-16, published in its first version just after the First World War, republished five years later, 1923, in the version here presented for the first time in English translation. "The Spirit of Utopia" is one of the great historic books from the beginning of the century, but it is not an obsolete one. In its style of thinking, a peculiar amalgam of biblical, Marxist, and Expressionist turns, in its analytical skills...

Written between 1910 and 1929, Traces is considered Ernst Bloch's most important work next to The Principle of Hope and The Spirit of Utopia. This book, which collects aphorisms, essays, stories, and anecdotes, enacts Bloch's interest in showing how attention to "traces"--to the marks people make or to natural marks--can serve as a mode of philosophizing. In an elegant example of how the literary can become a privileged medium for philosophy, Bloch's chief philosophical invention is to begin with what gives an observer pause--what seems strange and astonishing. He then...

The aesthetic essays of the philosopher Ernst Bloch (1885-1977) belong to the rich tradition of cultural criticism represented by Georg Lukacs, Theodor Adorno, and Walter Benjamin. Bloch was a significant creative source for these thinkers, and his impact is nowhere more evident than in writings on art. Bloch was fascinated with art as a reflection of both social realities and human dreams. Whether he is discussing architecture or detective novels, the theme that drives his work is always the same - the striving for "something better," for a "homeland" that is more socially aware, more...

Von den Philosophen, die das 20. Jahrhundert geprägt haben, war Ernst Bloch der Denker des Aufbruchs, des Widerstands und des antizipierenden Bewußtseins. Seine Leitmotive Prinzip Hoffnung, aufrechter Gang und konkrete Utopie durchzogen die Debatten der bewegten sechziger Jahre des vergangenen Jahrhunderts. Bei Bloch ließ und läßt sich lernen, daß philosophische Reflexion mehr bedeutet als eine Kartographie des Vorfindlichen. Das Dunkel des gelebten Augenblicks und die Ontologie des Noch-Nicht-Seins sind Kategorien eines Denkens, das sich seine Vernunft nicht reglementieren läßt und...
