Having, Giving, Hoping

"Having, Giving, Hoping" is a short work by Leonardo Polo in which he presents the basic outlines of a philosophical anthropology that gathers together insights from classical Greek philosophy (especially Aristotle), Christian anthropology, and modern thought. The tone and style of this work fit the audience and context for whom it was first presented: business executives at seminars and conferences at business schools in Latin America. As such, Polo offers an overview of a philosophical anthropology that seeks to frame human productive and economic activity within a wider vision of the dynamism of the human person, done in a clear and simple manner that avoids technical jargon, but at the same time remains deeply philosophical.
