Spes

expectatio de incertis rerum futurarum eventis
Vide etiam paginam discretivam: Spes (discretiva).

Spes est status qui desiderium exituum exoptatorum promovet qui ad eventus et condiciones in vita sui vel ad summam pertinent, ut in locutione "Spero [spem habeo] te in inferis putrefacturum esse."[1] Desperatio saepe contrarium spei habetur.[2]

Das Prinzip Hoffnung. Auschwitz, rosa spem exprimit.

Spes est "sententia quod desideratum haberi posse vel eventus praevalere," sive actus "anticipa[ndi] rem cum appetitione et fide modica," sive "sentire desideratum fieri posse."[3][4] Inter alias definitiones sunt "colere desiderium per anticipationem" et "desiderare in exspectatione adipiscendi" et "exspectare confidenter."[5][6]

Napoleo Bonaparte dicitur dixisse ducem esse mercatorem spei.[7] Robertus Mattox, agitator socialis et futurista, doctrinam mutationis socialis in re conditam proponit (Mattox 2012). Sunt investigationes magni momenti facilitatis ductus in efficiendas mutationes, sed paucae investigationes condiciones ductus necessarias ad initiandam et feliciter ducendam mutationem explorant.

Nonnullae ductus theoriae ponunt hominem qui res iustas facit ducem efficacem fore. Laurentius Stout certas postulans condiciones exsistere debere antequam duces ingeniosissimi mutationem efficere possent, vehementius dicit quattuor condiciones necessarias:

  1. homines (qui)
  2. locus (ubi)
  3. positio (quod)
  4. tempus (quando)

Dux, si omnes has condiciones habet, mutationes ducere poterit (Stout 2006).

Historia spei

recensere

Spes in mythologia Graeca antiqua in fabula Iovis et Promethei apparet. Prometheus ignem a deo Iove furatus est, cum deus supremus exasperatus capsam vicissim omnia mali genera continentem fecit. Pandora, monitu neglecto, capsam aperuit, illa mala in mundum liberans; spes autem, in ima capsa iacens, mansit.[8]

Alfredus Adler dixit: "Non possumus cogitare, sentire, velle, vel agere sine fine percepto."[9]

Interitus et finis spei significantur illa famosissima sententia in Divina Comoedia Dantis, cum poeta, a Vergilio ad portam inferni perductus, haec legit verba: "Omittite omnem spem vos intraturi!" (italiane "Lasciate ogni speranza voi ch'entrate!")[10]

Huius sententiae sera vox resonans est illud proverbium vulgo tritum "Spes moritur postrema".
