The purpose of this article is to explore an understanding of hope that seeks to bridge the gap between a contemplative and action-oriented approach to hope. The argument is based in particular on an extensive study of the literature concerning the work of Jonathan Sacks. His reading of hope reaches back to the narrative of the Exodus and highlights several key assumptions to do with the principle of radical uncertainty. The intention is to situate these assumptions within the context of climate change. Most notably, Sacks’ concept of hope reveals a transformative response to climate change in which people gradually change their identity. For Sacks the key instrument of transformation for both religious and secular is a public Sabbath. An example of such is provided and Sacks’ thinking is set alongside the work of some leading theologians.

本文的目的是探索对希望的理解，以期在沉思和面向行动的希望方法之间架起桥梁。该论点尤其基于对乔纳森·萨克斯（Jonathan Sacks）工作的文献的广泛研究。他对希望的阅读可以追溯到出埃及记的叙述，并强调了与根本不确定性原则有关的几个关键假设。目的是将这些假设置于气候变化的背景下。最值得注意的是，萨克斯的希望概念揭示了人们对气候变化的变革反应，人们逐渐改变了自己的身份。对于萨克斯来说，宗教和世俗转变的关键工具是公共安息日。提供了这样的一个例子，萨克斯的思想与一些主要神学家的工作同时被提出。
