本文探討鄂蘭的政治情感概念。文章的主要目標在於分析她對於激情、情緒與情感等的概念，以及它們之間的關係。筆者宣稱，政治情緒與情感源自於我們欲與他人建立起關係的激情，而人們也透過各種人際互動模式來維持關係，進而促進了這種激情。文章的另一個目標在於詮釋鄂蘭的友誼概念。筆者主張在其觀點中，友誼所指涉者不僅是一種我們對於朋友以及他們之間世界的義務（即一種「勿忘我」的義務），也是一種我們對任何偶然相遇之人展現出普遍善意的義務－一個人願意伸手並對他們說「我會成為你的朋友」。

This paper investigates Arendt’s concept of political sentiment. One key aim of this paper is to analyse her notions of passion, emotion and sentiment, as well as the relationships between them. I argue that political emotion and sentiment stem from our passion for forming relationships with others, which is facilitated by people coming up with various modes of interaction to sustain these relationships. Another aim of this paper is to interpret Arendt’s concept of friendship. I contend that friendship, in her view, refers not just to a duty to one’s friend and the world in-between them (the duty of“forget-me-not”) but also a universal benevolence toward whomever one happens to encounter－to one’s willingness to reach out their hand and say“I will be your friend”.
