Love and Saint Augustine (Der Liebesbegriff bei Augustin. Versuch einer philosophischen Interpretation; On the concept of love in the thought of Saint Augustine: Attempt at a philosophical interpretation){{sfn|Arendt|1929}} was the title of Hannah Arendt's 1929 doctoral thesis. An English translation including revisions by Arendt was not published till 1996.

Influenced by two of her teachers, Martin Heidegger and Karl Jaspers it deals with three concepts of love in the work of St Augustine, which would appear in her works over the rest of her life. Of these the phrase amor mundi (love of the world) is often associated with Arendt and both permeates her work and was an absorbing passion.

Other themes that are a key to her later work include "Natality" as a key condition of human existence and its role in the development of the individual.

History

Love and Saint Augustine was the title of Hannah Arendt's doctoral thesis from the University of Heidelburg in 1929.{{sfn|Arendt|1929}} When it was first published in Berlin it attracted critical interest. Although an English translation had been prepared by E B Ashton{{efn|E B Ashton: Pseudonym of Ernst Basch (1909–1983), a fellow émigré who translated many German philosophical works, including those of Karl Jaspers, her thesis supervisor, and was the author of The Fascist: His State And His Mind (1937){{sfn|Hilmes|2015|loc=p. 267}}}} in the early 1960s, Arendt did not want it published without revising it and adding new material. Although she prepared several manuscripts, she ultimately abandoned the task and it was not published in English until after her death, in 1996.{{sfn|Arendt|1996}}

Structure

In this work, she combines approaches of both Heidegger and Jaspers, her most influential teachers. Arendt's interpretation of love in the work of St. Augustine deals with three concepts, love as craving or desire (Amor qua appetitus), love in the relationship between man (creatura) and creator (Creator - Creatura), and neighborly love (Dilectio proximi), and is constructed in three sections dealing with each of these. Love as craving anticipates the future, while love for the Creator deals with the remembered past. Of the three, dilectio proximi or caritas{{efn|Latin has three nouns for love: amor, dilectio and caritas. The corresponding verbs for the first two are amare and diligere{{sfn|Augustine|1995|loc=p. 115 n. 31}}}} is perceived as the most fundamental, to which the first two are oriented, which she treats under vita socialis (social life). The second of the Great Commandments (or Golden Rule) "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" uniting and transcending the former.{{efn|{{bibleref|Matthew|22:39|KJV}} }}{{sfn|Young-Bruehl|2004|loc=p. 74}} Augustine's influence (and Jaspers' views on his work) persisted in Arendt's writings for the rest of her life.{{sfn|Calcagno|2013}}

{{quotebox|title=Amor mundi|align=right| quote= Amor mundi — warum ist es so schwer, die Welt zu lieben?
Love of the world — why is it so difficult to love the world?
|source= —Denktagebuch I: 522{{sfn|Arendt|2002a|loc=p. 522}}}}

Already in this work some of the leitmotifs of her canon were apparent. For instance, she introduced the concept of Natalität (Natality) as a key condition of human existence and its role in the development of the individual. She made clear, in her revisions to the English translation, through explicit reference, that it was "natality" that she was introducing,{{sfn|Arendt|1996}}{{sfn|Beiner|1997}}{{sfn|Kiess|2016|loc=pp. 22,40}} and would develop further in The Human Condition (1958).{{sfn|Arendt|2013}}{{sfn|Fry|2014}} Although she did not specifically use the word Natalität in the original German version, she explained that the construct of natality was implied in her discussion of new beginnings and man's elation to the Creator as nova creatura.{{sfn|Young-Bruehl|2004|loc=pp. 49–500}}{{sfn|Kiess|2016|loc=pp. 101ff}} The centrality of the theme of birth and renewal is apparent in the constant reference to Augustinian thought, and specifically the innovative nature of birth, from this, her first work, to her last, The Life of the Mind.{{sfn|Durst|2004}}

Love is another connecting theme. In addition to the Augustinian loves expostulated in her dissertation, the phrase amor mundi (love of the world) is one often associated with Arendt and both permeates her work and was an absorbing passion from her dissertation to The Life of the Mind (1978).{{sfn|Bernauer|1987a|loc=p. 1}}{{sfn|Hill|2017}} She took the phrase from Augustine's homily on the first epistle of St John, "If love of the world dwell in us".{{sfn|Augustine|2008|loc=II: 8 p. 45}} Amor mundi was her original title for The Human Condition (1958),{{efn|Arendt explained to Karl Jaspers, in a letter dated August 6, 1955, that she intended to use St Augustine's concept of amor mundi as the title, as a token of gratitude{{sfn|Vollrath|1997}}}}{{sfn|Bernauer|1987|loc=p. v}} the subtitle of Elisabeth Young-Bruehl's biography (1982),{{sfn|Young-Bruehl|2004}} the title of a collection of writing on faith in her work{{sfn|Bernauer|1987}} and the newsletter of the Hannah Arendt Center at Bard College.{{sfn|Amor Mundi|2018}}
