Description
First published in 1996, Love and Saint Augustine is a seminal work by Hannah Arendt that explores the concept of caritas, or neighborly love, through her dissertation on Saint Augustine's ideas.
Arendt's academic journey took her from Germany to France and eventually to New York, where she continued to refine her thoughts on politics and social life. This book provides a long-awaited English translation of her early work, incorporating her own revisions and additional notes based on letters, contracts, and recollections from her friends and colleagues.
Joanna Vecchiarelli Scott and Judith Chelius Stark have made this important work accessible for the first time, offering readers a unique insight into Arendt's intellectual development and the evolution of her ideas about social life in times of rapid change.
