The problems of hope, if viewed from many sides and from different stand- points, appear as one of the fundamental “key issues” of human existence. The experience of hope merges with the experience of time, chance and change (the possibility of beneficial change). The merging and permeating of these experiences can be particularly visible in the broadly understood sphere of pedagogical activ- ity. Aiming at a positively assessed change, a better status, is the foundation of the process of education and self-education – this is a basic feature of pedagogical activities. To a large extent, the experience of hope is an apophatic experience – it is hard to articulate and does not comply with the resources of the language which describes the world of sensual cognition. However, hope needs – or even requires – an appropriate wording which will support and enhance it a lot. The perspectives of hope and pedagogy of hope should consistently remain open perspectives, the current description of which cannot be reduced only to what is seen from the own (narrow and often distorted) point of view. Hope also needs some open space of intellectual debate so that different ways of human experienc- ing of hope could become visible – none of these human experiences is the ultimate experience of perfect and the only hope. Owing to this truly human imperfection, hope itself can mature by going beyond (transcending) its existing forms and the future - if it is not only the implementation of a project coming from the past (e.g. an ideological project of fulfilling an utopian perfection) - may become the open future. In this openness, people can cope with their own imperfection and can – with hope – shape their own selves in order to contribute in this modest way to shaping a better world.
