About the author

Simone Weil

343 books1,887 followers
Simone Weil was a French philosopher, Christian mystic, and social activist. Weil was born in Paris to Alsatian agnostic Jewish parents who fled the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine to Germany. Her brilliance, ascetic lifestyle, introversion, and eccentricity limited her ability to mix with others, but not to teach and participate in political movements of her time. She wrote extensively with both insight and breadth about political movements of which she was a part and later about spiritual mysticism. Weil biographer Gabriella Fiori writes that Weil was "a moral genius in the orbit of ethics, a genius of immense revolutionary range".

Simone Weil nació en Francia para morir en Inglaterra, expió sus pecados, y decidió reencarnarse en Ana Iris Simón

Reflexiones y pensamientos de la famosa pensadora y activista francesa, en la que viajamos a través de sus ideas del bien, los estragos de la guerra (que vivió de cerca ya que militó de voluntaria en la Guerra Civil Española) y la fragilidad de las estructuras abstractas de gobierno creadas por el ser humano. Debo reconocer que por momentos se me ha hecho algo pesado, pero tiene algunas ideas francamente interesantes.

De todo, me quedo con su idea de confianza en la aspiración a la bondad en todo ser humano, y el desprecio a la codicia por lo material.

Revisando ensayos políticos a raíz de esta nueva edición. Textos que función a modo de columna vertebral del pensamiento político-antropológico de Weil, y que me vuelven a remover algunas ideas. Divertida lectura post-convocatoria de mayo.
