Hannah Arendt

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) studeerde filosofie en theologie in Berlijn en Marburg. In 1933 vluchtte ze van Duitsland naar Frankrijk. In 1941 emigreerde ze naar Amerika. Haar werk is politiek van aard en concentreert zich vooral op vrijheid en totalitarisme, denken, handelen en oordelen (Totalitarisme, De menselijke conditie, Over geweld). Ze werd wereldberoemd met haar verslag van het proces tegen Eichmann, ""Eichmann in Jeruzalem"" (1965).

Samenvatting

The brilliant thinker who taught us about the banality of evil explores another brilliant thinker and his concept of love.

Hannah Arendt, the author of The Origins of Totalitarianism and The Human Condition, 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 dissertation 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, political science professor Joanna Vecchiarelli Scott and philosophy professor 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.

“Both the dissertation and the accompanying essay are accessible to informed lay readers. Scott and Stark's conclusions about the cohesive evolution of Arendt’s thought are compelling but leave room for continuing discussion.”—Library Journal

“A revelation.”—Kirkus Reviews
