Simone Weil: An Anthology de Simone Weil

Simone Weil: An Anthology: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Simone Weil Editat de Sian Miles
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 noi 2005
Simone Weil was one of the foremost thinkers of the twentieth century: a philosopher, theologian, critic, sociologist and political activist. This anthology spans the wide range of her thought, and includes an extract from her best-known work 'The Need for Roots', exploring the ways in which modern society fails the human soul; her thoughts on the misuse of language by those in power; and the essay 'Human Personality', a late, beautiful reflection on the rights and responsibilities of every individual. All are marked by the unique combination of literary eloquence and moral perspicacity that characterised Weil's ideas and inspired a generation of thinkers and writers both in and outside her native France.

Notă biografică

Simone Weil (1909-43) was a French political activist, mystic and a singular figure in French philosophy. She studied at the elite École Normale Supérieure, obtained her agrégation (teaching diploma) in philosophy in 1931, worked at Renault from 1934 to 1935, enlisted in the International Brigades in 1936 and worked as a farm labourer in 1941. She left France in 1942 for New York and then London, where she worked for General de Gaulle's Free French movement. Most of her works, published posthumously, consist of some notebooks and a collection of religious essays. They include, in English, Waiting for God (1951), Gravity and Grace (1952), The Need for Roots (1952), Notebooks (two volumes, 1956), Oppression and Liberty (1958) and Selected Essays, 1934-1943 (1962).

Recenzii

'Suffering through years of misrepresentation, Simone Weil finally receives the careful editing and philosophical translation she deserves. David Levy and Marina Barabas have crafted the ideal entry point for those looking to engage with Weil’s ideas in English.' - Nicolas Bommarito, Simon Fraser University, Canada
'In her meditations on justice and violence, hope and despair, greatness and humility, the natural and the unnatural, and power and human helplessness, Simone Weil has given us a philosophy for all times, but one that is especially timely in our present crises. For this thoughtfully chosen selection from her work, and their careful and learned commentary on it, Levy and Barabas deserve the gratitude of us all.' - Sophie Grace Chappell, Open University, UK
'These fresh translations do justice to Weil’s prose, a window aspiring to transparency like Weil’s life itself. Attention, too, is focused on the rigor of Weil’s thinking, rooted in the ideal world of Plato and mathematics, while never abandoning the "real world" and the need for a universal justice to uncover its beauty. If the beauty of mathematical science did not reflect the beauty of the world "the real world would be like an ugly body in beautiful clothing", wrote the great logician Kurt Gödel. As this collection demonstrates, Weil would have agreed.' - Palle Yourgrau, Brandeis University, USA
