Hannah Arendt began her career studying Saint Augustine's idea of caritas 'love of one's neighbor' under the guidance of Karl Jaspers and the influence of Martin Heidegger. After fleeing Germany in 1933, she carried her dissertation with her through exile in France and later to New York.
In the 1950s and 1960s, while writing her major political works, Arendt returned to and revised this early study, connecting Augustine's ideas to modern questions about social and political life during times of rapid change.
In Love and Saint Augustine, Joanna Vecchiarelli Scott and Judith Chelius Stark present a fully revised English translation of Arendt's dissertation, including her later edits and new notes drawn from letters, documents, and memories of her friends and colleagues.
