Simone Weil -- philosopher, trade union militant, factory worker --
developed a penetrating critique of Marxism and a powerful
political philosophy which serves an alternative both to liberalism
and to Marxism. In A Truer Liberty, originally published in 1989,
Blum and Seidler show how Simone Weil's philosophy sought to place
political action on a firmly moral basis. The dignity of the manual
worker became the standard for political institutions and
movements. Weil criticized Marxism for its confidence in progress
and revolution and its attendant illusory belief that history is on
the side of the proletariat. Blum and Seidler relate Weil's work to
influential trends in political philosophy today, from analytic
Marxism to central traditions within liberal thought. The authors
stress the importance of Weil's work for understanding liberation
theology, Catholic radicalism, and, more generally, social
movements against oppression which are closely tied to religion and
spirituality.
