Hope is an important building block of the moral infrastructure of Ukraine. It is also a crucial aspect of “integral human development,” a normative vision for human societies that is rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition and focuses on the dignity and prosperity of the whole human person. What we are witnessing in Ukraine, after Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, might be described as “integral human destruction”—the destruction not only of human life, the natural environment, and tangible infrastructure, but also of intangible infrastructure through misinformation, the erosion of trust, and the creation of a climate of terror.

Revolutions of Hope focuses on the positive and corrective response to this destruction, exploring reasons for hope, sources of hope, and the politics and ethics of hope in Ukraine. How is hope powerful, or even revolutionary? How does it encourage resilience and recovery? And, above all, how can we build and promote the integral development of hope in Ukraine? Discover the concept, dynamics, and practices of hope, resilience, and recovery in Ukraine.
