Yourgrau, Palle
Simone Weil (critical Lives series)
Book is in excellent condition. Binding is solid and square, covers have sharp corners, exterior shows no blemishes, text/interior is clean and free of marking of any kind. Simone Weil, legendary French philosopher, political activist and mystic, died in 1943 at a sanatoriumin Kent at the age of 34. During her brief lifetime, Weil was a paradox of asceticism and introversion, yet with a teaching career and active participation in politics. She was a contemporary of Simone de Beauvoir and admired by writers such as Albert Camus. Palle Yourgrau outlines Weil's life and work, and demonstrates how she tried to apply philosophy to everyday life. Her preoccupation with the worldwide oppression of the working class found expression in what she once called her magnum opus, On Oppression and Liberty. Following a powerful religious experience in 1937, Weil's writings took a mystic turn and her fascination for world religions became more explicit in her work. Simone Weil offers an engaging presentation of the human drama of Weil's life and philosophy. This book is an engaging presentation of the life and work of the legendary French philosopher, political activist and mystic Simone Weil. Palle Yourgrau assesses Weil's controversial critique of Judaism, and her radical re-imagination of Christianity; and analyses how Weil's personal struggles influenced her mature philosophy.
