- More about Simone Weil’s Political Philosophy: Field Notes from the Margins
Simone Weil's short life was deeply invested in and engaged with the world around her, and Benjamin Davis argues that her work should be read in conversation with feminist philosophy, decolonial philosophy, and Marxism. He believes that in today's battles, we need to reconnect with her ethical and political imagination, which offers a critique of oppression as part of a deeper attention to the world.

This book argues that Simone Weil’s short life (1909–1943) is best understood as deeply invested in and engaged with the world around her, which she knew she would leave behind sooner rather than later if she took risks on the side of the oppressed. To present Weil first and foremost as a political philosopher, Benjamin Davis places her work in conversation with feminist philosophy, decolonial philosophy, and Marxism. Against the backdrop of Weil’s commitments, Davis reads Weil into debates in contemporary Critical Theory. He argues that in the battles of today, we need to reconnect with Simone Weil’s ethical and political imagination, which offers a critique of oppression as part of a deeper attention to the world.
