Also notable is the implicit centrality in her thought of amor mundi, or love of the world. The difficulty is that although she spoke to her students about it, she rarely wrote about amor mundi. In this article, I seek to provide a plausible explanation of the meaning of amor mundi in Arendt's thought, drawing in particular upon the influence of Augustine on Arendt's unique development of the ethical and political principle of love for the world. Specifically, through a close reading of Arendt's doctoral dissertation, Love and Saint Augustine, I identify the relationship between Augustine's conception of cupiditas and Arendt's conception of amor mundi.
