Simone Weil, a profound and thought-provoking philosopher of the 20th century, lived a multifaceted life dedicated to the pursuit of goodness in all its forms. She was a teacher, factory and farm laborer, a political activist both at home and abroad, a loving friend, daughter, and sister. Her writings, spanning philosophy, politics, science, and spirituality, explored the possibilities and pathways to a fulfilling life. While Weil considered herself a philosopher first and foremost, her original thinking often got overshadowed by her classification as a Christian mystic.
Simone Weil: Basic Writings, an expertly curated anthology, presents Weil's philosophy in relation to the architecture of human nature, politics, work, necessity, beauty, goodness, and God. Drawing from the definitive French edition of Weil's complete writings, D. K. Levy and Marina Barabas have translated the essays anew or for the first time, providing valuable notes and references that were previously missing in English language editions of Weil's work.
The book begins with an extensive introduction that provides an overview of Weil's life and thought, setting the stage for the subsequent chapters. Each part of the anthology begins with a short preface that contextualizes the selected essays within Weil's broader oeuvre.
Simone Weil: Basic Writings serves as an excellent entry point into Weil's philosophy, offering a comprehensive introduction to her ideas for both novice readers and scholars engaged in the study of her thought in philosophy and related disciplines.
