“Contra Camus, hope remained inside Pandora’s box. It did not get out. In this way, hope might be understood as the antidote to all of humankind’s ills. As a remedy, it is still hidden. It cannot simply be found. It ensures that, despite all the ills of the world, we do not resign ourselves. For Nietzsche, hope is a determined ‘yes to life’, an ‘and yet’: For what Zeus wanted was that man, however much tormented by the other evils, should nonetheless not throw life away but continue to let himself be tormented. To that end he gives men hope.”
