Hannah Arendt began her scholarly career with an exploration of Saint Augustine's concept of caritas, or neighborly love, written under the direction of Karl Jaspers and the influence of Martin Heidegger. After her German academic life came to a halt in 1933, Arendt carried her dissertation into exile in France, and years later took the same battered and stained copy to New York. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, as she was completing or reworking her most influential studies of political life, Arendt was simultaneously annotating and revising her dissertation on Augustine, amplifying its argument with terms and concepts she was using in her political works of the same period. The disseration became a bridge over which Arendt traveled back and forth between 1929 Heidelberg and 1960s New York, carrying with her Augustine's question about the possibility of social life in an age of rapid political and moral change.

In Love and Saint Augustine, Joanna Vecchiarelli Scott and Judith Chelius Stark make this important early work accessible for the first time. Here is a completely corrected and revised English translation that incorporates Arendt's own substantial revisions and provides additional notes based on letters, contracts, and other documents as well as the recollections of Arendt's friends and colleagues during her later years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but...
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2014
Verified Purchase
Not for the uninitiated. For those who are "invested" in or have read a fair amount of Arendt, or who are well versed in Augustine, Arendt's doctoral dissertation is illuminating. But the German Existenz influence is in full bloom, not quite Heideggerian but not enough Jaspers either (who is much more readable) to offset it in this recent English translation. But well worth the effort if one has the tools and patience. Of note is the very readable analysis of the translators, providing solid signposts to the subsequent works which are still much inbedded in Arendt's dissertation. As such, Love and Saint Augustine provides considerable illumination for the entire ouvre. I do not regret that I read everything else of Arendt's before finally reading this. It is the bow on the package. A final note -- the footnotes to Augustine works with relevant passages are extensive and, bless the translators, in English.

I was delighted to get this. The book is in pristine condition, so thanks to the seller. I am going to use it in a course on Augustine. I did not know that Arendt, who is a political theorist, by her own definition, had written on a Church Father. Great surprise!

Love and Saint Augustine, by Hannah Arendt, is the first book by Hannah Arendt, that disappointed me. Less than half, of this book, was actually by Hannah Arendt. Too much.explanation by others.

Not what I have expected from this book. Not for everyone. I am quite into books about God and faith, but find this book difficult to read as it was written so long ago. Kind of difficult to get the message because of the archaic style.
