I am very curious about what Arendt means here. She seems to define love as special preference (and also, wisely, as inextricable from its darker side, hate), while maybe Baldwin defines it in a more generous Christian sense, as an inclusive equalizer. Baldwin's conception of love is clearly very different than Arendt's conception of love. I look forward to reading the next installment!
