Presents a novel account of hope, the motivational resources it presupposes, and its function in our practical lives. This title contends that hoping for an outcome means treating certain feelings, plans, and imaginings as justified, and that hope thereby involves sophisticated reflective and conceptual capacities. "Moral psychology should hope for more work like Martin's that fruitfully and thoughtfully explores the complexities of our moral emotional lives."---Krista K. Thomason, European Legacy
