This is the first time that I've heard the English term, "thematise" in use. I actually discovered it many years ago, when translating. "Thematisieren", "thématiser" are common in German and French, but I felt sheepish about using it, knowing fully well that the English readership wouldn't be familiar with the word. I did it anyway because this was simply the most efficient means of solving the problem. Perhaps I'm not knowledgable enough about contemporary English, but in any case, bravo! Let's use it more often.
"Novum" is a very common German word, taken from Latin long ago, means the same as the adjective "novel", but as a noun. For example, when people come across something new, or a new way of doing things, they will say, "Das ist ein Novum". We might say, "unprecedented", but in actual usage, it's a bit more down-to-Earth, with an element of discovery or originality. In fact, I'm having trouble defining how it is used. That's just the beauty of linguistic diversity.
We are hopeless but to hope. That's why the meek shall inherit the Kingdom, while the proud will destroy themselves out of despair. I hope that you keep daring to grow in the desire for Salvation, in order for your happiness to increase into eternity, on behalf of The Faith and Charity.
it's a bit of a shocker to not hear from Kierkegaard's fear and trembling in an episode on hope ( or maybe I'm the one who's applying hope/faith in the same bucket)
The predominant characteristic of Trump supporters, whether they like him or not, and of course, whether they are aware of it or not, is a kind of nihilism.
I'm HOPEFUL (and excited!!) for Crash Course Political Theory! ;)
What an instructive, challenging and enjoyable podcast! Thanks!
Hope can be contrasted with expectation and faith with entitlement and trust.

Hope leads to action, while action tends to engender hope, even where there is no immediate reward. It's dynamic.
I need a post-election follow up episode called Hoping Against Hope

Hope is for small capital against time
Strength only harbours treachery towards the outside
Hopless*
Hope. An inconvenient need forced on you by others.
Some of these philosophical concepts are just too esoteric to fit in one’s head.
