Hannah Arendt and Simone Weil were two of the most compelling
political thinkers of the 20th century who, despite having similar
life-experiences, developed radically distinct political
philosophies. This unique dialogue between the writings of Arendt
and Weil highlights Arendt’s secular humanism, her emphasis on
heroic action, and her rejection of the moral approach to politics,
contrasted starkly with Weil’s religious approach, her faith in
the power of divine Goodness, and her other-centric ethic of
suffering and affliction. The writings here respect the profound
differences between Arendt and Weil whilst pulling out the shared
preoccupations of power, violence, freedom, resistance,
responsibility, attention, aesthetics, and vulnerability. Without
shying away from exploring the more difficult concepts in these
philosophers' works, Hannah Arendt and Simone Weil also aims to
pull out the relevance of their writings for contemporary issues.
