This book examines the religious, social, and political thought of
Simone Weil in the context of the rigorous philosophical thinking
out of which it grew. It also explores illuminating parallels
between these ideas and ideas that were simultaneously being
developed by Ludwig Wittgenstein. Simone Weil developed a
conception of the relation between human beings and nature which
made it difficult for her to explain mutual understanding and
justice. Her wrestling with this difficulty coincided with a
considerable sharpening of her religious sensibility, and led to a
new concept of the natural and social orders involving a
supernatural dimension, within which the concepts of beauty and
justice are paramount. Professor Winch provides a fresh perspective
on the complete span of Simone Weil's work, and discusses the
fundamental difficulties of tracing the dividing line between
philosophy and religion.
