此論文旨在探討世俗之愛和永恆之愛兩種追求能否相容並存的問題。透過鄂蘭的「人類複數性」政治哲學和齊克果強調個人「宗教內在性」的存在哲學之間的對話，並針對現代「沙漠世界」與人類存在本質的矛盾與解決之道，重新審視基於世俗之愛的政治承諾和基於上帝之愛的宗教承諾之間的歧見，藉此反思鄂蘭的世俗化視域和齊克果堅持信仰的異質信念，有否協商或兼容之可能。

This paper aims to inquire whether it is possible to negotiate the conflicting categories of “love of the world” and “love of God / Eternity” in the context of modern secularism. The investigation is oriented toward bringing into conversation the divergent perspectives of two important modern thinkers, Søren Kierkegaard and Hannah Arendt. In Kierkegaard, we find a modern believer’s (Christian) philosophy of existence featured by prioritizing singular individuals’ “religious inwardness.” In contrast, Arendt, with all her profound understanding of Saint Augustine’s pursuit of self and eternity, bases her political theory on the recognition of human reality as “worldliness” and “human plurality.” Ultimately, through re-estimating their heterogeneous propositions about hope for humanity in the modern “desert-world,” this comparative discussion attempts to reflect upon the possibility of negotiating their incompatible “loves” and “beliefs.”
