Love and Saint Augustine
Author: Hannah Arendt
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022622564X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
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

The Truth About Love and Fear
Author: Rudolf Eckhardt
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1504310101
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
We live every day without being aware that fear controls many of our choices and decisions. The consequences our fear-based behavior has on our life and relationships also contributes to the collective fear and distrust in the world. When we recognize fear for what it really is, we can initiate an effort to deal with it. In The Truth About Love and Fear, author Rudolf Eckhardt shows how we can take individual responsibility for our issues by addressing our fears and insecurities. This will transform our lives and the lives of those around us. He provides answers to questions about consciousness, life, and relationships and discusses how life is about being and not about doing; you can be a powerful person, rather than just engaging in acts of power; true change is different from changing your feelings, perception, thoughts, and behaviors; it feels to experience unconditional love; fear and guilt have power; and love and fear influence your mind and control your behavior. The Truth About Love and Fear leads you to a new understanding of the nature of unconditional love, acceptance, and trust and explains the potential of your personal power and the lack of it in your life. It challenges your present way of thinking, makes you question your perception, ad changes your belief of who you are and the way you see your relationships and life. It alters your thoughts of your past, your present, and your future.
