Nadzieja Boga jako podstawa ludzkiej nadziei w ujęciu Józefa Tischnera i Hansa Ursa von Balthasara
God’s Hope as a Basis of Human Hope According to Józef Tischner and Hans Urs von Balthasar

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the problematics of anthropological and theological understand­ing of the concept of Christian hope in the context of the reflection of Józef Tischner and Hans Urs von Balthasar. This integral view of the issue is characterized by the tendency of both thinkers to go beyond the classical anthropological limitations imposed on the concept of hope towards its full­er Christological and theological understanding. From a methodological and structural standpoint, the analyses conducted in the article cover four main dimensions of Christian hope: religious-historical, anthropological- Christological, theological-dramatic (theodramatic) and soteriological-eschatological. The analyses conducted explain why, for Tischner, hope is not limited to the anthropological aspect, but also includes the theological-Christological dimension, and for von Balthasar, it is not limited only to human hope, but also includes the hope of God. The article concludes with the formulation and justifica­tion of two original theses concerning the understanding of hell as an eschatological museum of sin and the understanding of God’s hope as the ultimate basis of human hope in the context of the postulate of universal hope of salvation.
