Simone Weil

de Eric O. Springsted, Simone Weil, Lawrence E. Schmidt

"This is an excellent book by one of the world's leading Simone Weil scholars. Eric O. Springsted has gathered Simone Weil's writings that focus explicitly on her conception of philosophy and its relation to both value and the transcendent. In doing so, he has provided a conceptual framework for understanding Weil's oeuvre as a whole, which challenges readers to reinvestigate their views on the nature of philosophy and value." -- Mario Von Der Ruhr, senior lecturer, College of Arts and Humanities, Swansea University.
