520 $a Current crisis and pessimism enshroud the state of democracy and public education. This dissertation interrogates how representative philosophers, beginning with Plato, have conceptualized hope. The early philosophers considered also include Spinoza, Hume, Descartes and Kant.
520 $a From the more recent past, I investigate Hannah Arendt, Ernst Bloch, John Dewey, and Jane Addams. Contemporary philosophers with the hope canon are also canvassed for insights on democratic hope and education relevant to democracy and public education, including Bernstein,Boler, Bredo, Calhoun, Freire, Garrison, Green, Kompridis, Koopman, Seigfried and Westbrook.
520 $a The philosophical history is rooted in what is termed in this dissertation "The American hope- dream," referring to the historic American Dream as a national aspiration of exemplary ethico-moral leadership to the world, especially with reference to its distinctive form of governance.
520 $a The thesis investigates the dynamics of hope that accompanied the settlement, evolution of the new nation, and the emergent interlinking spirit of independence, democracy, and education of the new nation. It analyses key values germane to hope, such as freedom and equality, which surfaced within the context of governance, education and social justice.
520 $a There is special attention to the work of American Pragmatism, and the work of John Dewey and Jane Addams. Their orientation to the need for philosophically relating democracy and education to one another is addressed. My project probes their ethical and epistemological insights with a view to appropriating relevancies for the 21st Century Arguments are advanced for important epistemic connections of hope in promoting imagination and creative thinking, and investigate the role of hope in the radical social reforms of Addams with special attention to inclusivity, care and equality. The thesis references tragic hope, and the failures of leaders, past and present, to realize many of the promising ideals of the American Dream.
520 $a In sum, the dissertation interrogates the American Dream, with focus on democracy and public education, with shards of past, present and prospects undergoing philosophical analysis to justify hope as an initiating, nurturing force for political and educational renewal.
