Críticas
"There is no doubt in my mind that this little book is an extremely helpful introduction to that side of Weil's work with which it deals and I shall certainly be recommending it to my students: it is clearly and elegantly written, culturally informed in a way that is still far too rare in philosophical writing, including contemporary philosophy of religion, and sensible and judicious." - Christopher Hamilton, The Authors Journal Compilation. Oct 2008. 'This is a deeply thought-provoking book and will yield a great deal of inspiration whether used in small groups or simply as an insight for the private reader to aid their devotional life.' Judy West, Church of England Newspaper, 2007--Sanford Lakoff "Church Of England Newspaper " "There was certainly plenty to inspire me in this book...." Simon Doogan, Church of Ireland Gazette --Sanford Lakoff
Reseña del editor
This work is a portrait of Simone Weil, (1909-1943) the French Jewish writer, drawn to the Church. The writings of Simone Weil (1909-43), the French Jewish writer, have been hugely influential and are still frequently quoted and referred to today. This clear and lucid exposition of her life and work shows how Weil is truly a prophet for our age and an indispensable source of encouragement to all those who prowl at the frontiers of religion. From an early age Weil was attracted to Bolshevism, became an anarchist and helped Trotsky. She also worked as a mechanic in the Renault factory in Paris, and joined the International Red Brigade to fight Franco in the Spanish Civil War. Through all this Weil developed a theology and philosophy which speaks most directly to people today. Deeply imbued with agnosticism and anti-clericalism, she nevertheless experienced a profound religious conversion at the Benedictine Monastery of Solemnes in France. Christ 'took hold of her', although she never formally converted to the Christian faith to which she was so deeply attracted.
