한나 아렌트의 정치사상에서의 신학적 사유와 성 아우구스티누스의 신학적 유산: 확장된 신학적 지평에서 조명하는 아렌트의 탄생성과 행위 = Theological Thoughts in Hannah Arendt's Political Theory and the Theological Legacy of Saint Augustine : Arendt's Concepts of Natality and Action illuminated from an Expanded Theological Horizon

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper addresses the impact of St. Augustine’s theological ideas upon Hannah Arendt's political thoughts. Arendt's political thoughts emerged within the context of the tragic periods of the early 20th century, marked by two world wars, the dominance of totalitarianism, and the Holocaust. Throughout times of crisis, Arendt's efforts to comprehend and overcome the present and envision the future were driven by her sense of responsibility and love for the world.
In this process, the concept of Saint Augustine's new principle of beginning is reinterpreted and applied within Arendt's political thought. It is noted that these theological concepts from Augustine's work laid the foundation for Arendt's mature political concepts. As such, Augustine's theological ideas played a crucial role in shaping Arendt's political thoughts.
Consequently, exploring the theological ideas of Augustine embedded in Hannah Arendt's political thoughts reveal the bridging and expansion of boundaries between realms that have traditionally been perceived as separate: politics and religion, the worldly and the Christian, the secular and the ecclesiastical, divine love and worldly affection, as well as various academic disciplines and theological frontiers. Through Arendt's works, theological ideas that were previously confined within church doctrines and traditions extend beyond the walls of Christianity, finding reinterpretation and expansion in the language of various scholarly terms and in the events of the world and daily life, thereby gaining renewed vitality.
