 Arendt's interpretation of love in the work of 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").Love as craving anticipates the future, while love for the Creator deals with the remembered past.Of the three, "dilectio proximi" or "caritas" is perceived as the most fundamental, to which the first two are oriented, which she treats under "vita socialis" (social life).
