false <![CDATA[Simone Weil: An Anthology]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171133763m/88331.jpg 88331 1 <div>Philosopher, theologian, critic, sociologist, political activist -- Simone Weil was among the foremost thinkers of our time. Best known in this country for her theological writing, Weil wrote on a great variety of subjects ranging from classical philosophy and poetry, to modern labor, to the language of political discourse. The present anthology offers a generous collection of her work, including essays never before translated into English and many that have long been out of print. It amply confirms Elizabeth Hardwick's words that Simone Weil was "one of the most brilliant and original minds of twentieth-century France" and "a woman of transcendent intellectual gifts and the widest learning." A longtime Weil scholar, Sian Miles has selected essays representative of the wide sweep of Weil's work and provides a superb introduction that places Weil's work in context of her life and times. </div> 85237 30 9 2000 Simone Weil: An Anthology total:24|5:13|4:7|3:4| 24 105 46 3 0 0 false false Tue Mar 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 13:55:43 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 15:03:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Aug 26 16:46:20 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 16:49:29 -0700 2009
