The topic that I present is a dialogicality of hermeneutical interpretation of the attitude of hope and postmodern philosophy of “risk”, which is discursive to the principles of political theology. In particular, I compare the views of Paul Ricoeur, Anthon Giddens and Ulrich Beck. In this comparison, historically formed complexes of the idea of providence and the collective and individual trajectories of human fate are concentrated. Regardless of the analytical and interpretive contexts, the concept of hope, considered at the junction of theology, historiography and anthropology of culture, contains a fixed principle of anticipation of the good. This principle also permeates the rationalizations of “open thresholds of experience” formulated in the perspective of postmodern idea of “colonization of the future”, but if it loses its theological legitimacy, subject to sometimes extreme relativism. Exemplifying the category of “risk” in the context of the project of “colonization of the future”, I refer to the experience of Polish migrant artists residing in the UK and Ireland after 2004, who combine an attitude of hope and risk, as the basis of their existential strategy.
