Simone Weil: Basic Writings

The first philosophically reliable and comprehensive anthology of Weil's writings

All selections have been translated specially for this volume and are taken from the authoritative French edition of Weil's Complete Works, which were not available to previous anthologies and translations and include numerous helpful notes and references

Includes a very useful introduction to Weil's thought and each of the three sections is also introduced and set in context by the editors

An ideal starting point for students and any reader new to Weil and ideal for using as a course text, given that Weil's writings are scattered across several different books
