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. In
Simone Weil: Late Philosophical Writings, Eric O. Springsted
presents a unique collection of Weil’s writings, one
concentrating on her explicitly philosophical thinking. The essays
are drawn chiefly from the time Weil spent in Marseille in 1940-42,
as well as one written from London; most have been out of print for
some time; three appear for the first time; all are newly
translated. Beyond making important texts available, this selection
provides the context for understanding Weil's thought as a whole.
This volume is important not only for those with a general interest
in Weil; it also specifically presents Weil as a philosopher,
chiefly one interested in questions of the nature of value, moral
thought, and the relation of faith and reason. What also appears
through this judicious selection is an important confirmation that
on many issues respecting the nature of philosophy, Weil,
Wittgenstein, and Kierkegaard shared a great deal.
