The Continuing Legacy of Simone Weil

David Pollard

The Continuing Legacy of Simone Weil analyzes the core work of Simone Weil and her views on the nature of the human condition, humanity’s relationship with God, and the objective state of our world. David Pollard argues that though much of Weil’s work was focused on particular conditions operating in Europe prior to and including the period of the Second World War, much of it is as relevant today as it was then.
