Paperback. Etat : New. How can we articulate the intimate demand of the spiritual life and the struggle for solidarity? These two issues have often been treated separately; in Simone Weil: Attention to the Real, however, Robert Chenavier explores the work of Simone Weil (1909-1943) and demonstrates how she brought them together in a single movement of thought. "Our time has a unique mission, calling for the creation of a civilization based on the spirituality of work," she wrote near the end of her short life. Her experience as a militant and the call of the divine nurtured in her writing an intense and unwavering defense of this new civilization, backed by her personal sense of intellectual, moral, and political responsibility. Originally published in French in 2009, Simone Weil: Attention to the Real leads the reader through her earliest writing as a perceptive social critic to her work on spirituality and materialism, and finally to her extraordinary concept of decreation, produced before her death at the age of thirty-four. "To an exceptional degree," Chenavier says, "the life of Simone Weil, her personality, her commitment, and her reflection form one single whole." Chenavier argues that Weil's vocation took on a very original form in the history of philosophical thought. He is especially concerned with Weil's philosophical writings on the concept of work, which remain relevant today, and which provide an important key to her thinking throughout her life. Bernard Doering's superb translation brings to English readers Chenavier's succinct account of Simone Weil's life and an illuminating introduction to her philosophical thought.

Hardback. Etat : New. The inspiring letters of philosopher, mystic, and freedom fighter Simone Weil to her family, presented for the first time in English.Now in the pantheon of great thinkers, Simone Weil (1909-1943) lived largely in the shadows, searching for her spiritual home while bearing witness to the violence that devastated Europe twice in her brief lifetime. The letters she wrote to her parents and brother from childhood onward chart her intellectual range as well as her itinerancy and ever-shifting preoccupations, revealing the singular personality at the heart of her brilliant essays.The first complete collection of Weil's missives to her family, A Life in Letters offers new insight into her personal relationships and experiences. The letters abound with vivid illustrations of a life marked by wisdom as much as seeking. The daughter of a bourgeois Parisian Jewish family, Weil was a troublemaking idealist who preferred the company of miners and Russian exiles to that of her peers. An extraordinary scholar of history and politics, she ultimately found a home in Christian mysticism. Weil paired teaching with poetry and even dabbled in mathematics, as evidenced by her correspondence with her brother, André, who won the Kyoto Prize in 1994 for the famed Weil Conjectures.A Life in Letters depicts Simone Weil's thought taking shape amid political turmoil, as she describes her participation in the Spanish struggle against fascism and in the transatlantic resistance to the Nazis. An introduction and notes by Robert Chenavier contextualize the letters historically and intellectually, relating Weil's letters to her general body of writing. This book is an ideal entryway into Weil's philosophical insights, one for both neophytes and acolytes to treasure.

Etat : New. Idioma/Language: Español. Una aproximación filosófica que, sustentada por lo biográfico y lo histórico, busca comprender la postura de Simone Weil frente al judaísmo en todos sus matices. En 1940, en carta a una antigua alumna, Simone Weil escribe que Francia, «en un plazo bastante breve», había de conocer «una forma más o menos acentuada de racismo», y advierte: «Yo me contaré, en ese caso, entre los parias». Por esas mismas fechas, se había declarado deudora de «la tradición cristiana, francesa, helénica». Es en esta encrucijada en la que se topa con su condición de judía. Disipando polémicas estériles, este libro aclara la posición de Simone Weil ante la «cuestión judía». ¿Cabe asimilar su duro juicio sobre la religión hebrea a alguna forma de antisemitismo? La respuesta no solo requiere situar sus textos más problemáticos en el preciso contexto histórico y político en el que fueron escritos. Exige, ante todo, leer esos textos a la luz del conjunto de su pensamiento, que apunta a una política espiritual capaz de articular lo sobrenatural y la acción pública. Solo yendo a las razones profundas de su filosofía sin eludir sus contradicciones es posible un ensayo de comprensión. «Chenavier aborda este difícil tema ante todo como filósofo, con gran honestidad, amplia documentación y sin andarse con rodeos. Es de esperar que se atienda su llamamiento a ir más allá de la polémica y su invitación al debate filosófico».
