About the author

Simone Weil

368 books2,017 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".

M’attendais à un essai compacte. L’édition présente des extraits d’œuvres de Weil. Je n’ai pas su le finir tant le corpus s’éparpillait, n’aidant rien à la compréhension du texte - qui s’avère être particulièrement complexe.

Magnifique corpus de textes, belle introduction à une philosophie chrétienne pour croyants et non croyants. Weil rend grâce de manière remarquable et articule parfaitement les sentiments liés à la mystique chrétienne.

C’est un recueil d’extraits de l’oeuvre de Simone Weil. Il est bon pour se faire une idée de sa philosophie et de sa plume. Il se lit facilement.
