In this article, I argue that the current literature on political hope overlooks its non-instrumental value. By proposing a Kant-inspired account of treating reasonable hopes as fundamental hopes, I argue that it is rational for people to hold certain political hopes not only because such hopes promote particular ends but also because they are constitutive of a person’s practical identity as a responsible political agent with limited power to make changes. This view reveals that victims of injustice face an affective injustice because the unjust social system forces them to face a double bind in upholding their fundamental political hopes.

作为基本希望的政治希望的康德解释

在本文中，我认为当前有关政治希望的文献忽视了其非工具性价值。通过提出康德启发的将合理希望视为基本希望的解释，我认为人们持有某些政治希望是合理的，不仅因为这些希望促进特定的目标，而且因为它们构成了一个人作为负责任的人的实际身份。做出改变的权力有限的政治代理人。这种观点揭示了不公正的受害者面临情感上的不公正，因为不公正的社会制度迫使他们在维护基本政治希望时面临双重困境。
