Although trained as a philosopher, Simone Weil (1909"“43) contributed to a wide range of subjects, resulting in a rich field of interdisciplinary Weil studies. Yet those coming to her work from such disciplines as sociology, history, political science, religious studies, French studies, and women's studies are often ignorant of or baffled by her philosophical investigations. This book presents a unique collection of Weil's writings, one concentrating on her explicitly philosophical thinking.
