Book Description:

Over fifty years after her death, Simone Weil remains one of the most searching religious inquirers and political thinkers of the twentieth century. This study is primarily a topography of Weil's mind, but Thomas Nevin is persuaded that her thought is inextricably bound to her life and times. Thus, he not only addresses her thoughts and her prejudices but examines her reasons for entertaining them.
