Simone Weil, philosophe et mystique française du XXe siècle, a marqué de son empreinte le genre du carnet. Les nombreux cahiers personnels qu'elle a légués à la postérité illustrent une construction au présent d'un esprit riche et vivant qui associe la réflexion intellectuelle à l'autodiscipline.

"Simone Weil created a memorable oeuvre remarkable for its lucid, striking, and seemingly transparent prose. The first to recognize Weil's achievement as a writer, this book situates her work within the French literary tradition, showing its affinities with Pascal and Baudelaire, and acknowledges its kinship to the works of poets and writers of her generation, notably the poets Rene Char and Marina Tsvetaeva. Close reading of passages from her notebooks, several short texts, and a proposal for front-line nurses addressed to the Free French illustrates the forces and influences at work in her writing."--Jacket.

En toch kan niets ter wereld de mens het gevoel ontnemen dat hij voor vrijheid geboren is. Wat er ook moge gebeuren, nooit kan hij het knechtschap verdragen; want hij kan denken. Hij heeft nooit opgehouden te dromen van een grenzeloze vrijheid, hetzij in de vorm van een geluk dat voorbij is en waarvan hij als straf beroofd werd, hetzij in de vorm van een toekomstig geluk dat hem gebracht zal worden door middel van een pact met een mysterieuze voorzienigheid. Het door Marx voorgestelde communisme is de jongste vorm van deze droom. Deze droom is steeds vruchteloos gebleken, net als alle dromen, of wanneer hij een troost was, dan enkel als opium. Het wordt tijd niet langer van vrijheid te dromen en te besluiten de vrijheid te denken. De filosoof en historicus Thomas Decreus schetst in zijn voorwoord de ontwikkeling van het denken van Simone Weil en geeft aan wat haar belang voor vandaag is. De biografische schets is van de hand van de vertaler Johny Lenaerts.

“The generation of 1930 in French intellectual life was unique in the gravity of the challenges they faced.” Simone Weil—the brilliant social and political theorist, activist, and spiritual writer—was one of an eminent company in the France of the 1930s who responded to these challenges. In her brief, remarkable life she wrote a host of essays and letters and filled several notebooks with reflections. Hellman’s volume sets out the single world view—with its paradoxes and its logic—which appears behind her disparate writings but which she never lived to set out formally herself. Hellman extracts the key themes in Weil’s writings on Marxism, Hitlerism, factory work, history, and religion, in an effort to examine the seeming contradictions and inconsistencies in her fusion of deep spirituality and commitment to the poor and oppressed and her love-hate relationship with Roman Catholicism and Israel. The result is a synthesis of her thought as a whole, drawn principally from her varied, fragmentary writings, and seen in relation to her life and personality.

As a thinker, mystic and social critic, Simone Weil is one of the most extraordinary figures of the 20th century. She was a Marxist who experienced the relations of power between producing and ruling classes first hand as a field and factory worker. She was an internationalist who felt that the fall of Paris was a 'great day for Indo-China', and yet she wanted to fight for France. Camus called her social writings 'more penetrating and more prophetic than anything since Marx.' What comes through strongly in this book are Weil's power of analysis and criticism, her love of truth and hunger for j

In this book Roberto Esposito explores the conceptual trajectories of two of the twentieth century’s most vital thinkers of the political: Hannah Arendt and Simone Weil. Taking Homer’s Iliad—that “great prism through which every gesture has the possibility of becoming public, precisely by being observed by others”— as the common origin and point of departure for our understanding of Western philosophical and political traditions, Esposito examines the foundational relation between war and the political.Drawing actively and extensively on Arendt’s and Weil’s voluminous writings, but also sparring with thinkers from Marx to Heidegger, The Origin of the Political traverses the relation between polemos and polis, between Greece, Rome, God, force, technicity, evil, and the extension of the Christian imperial tradition, while at the same time delineating the conceptual and hermeneutic ground for the development of Esposito’s notion and practice of “the impolitical.”In Esposito’s account Arendt and Weil emerge “in the inverse of the other’s thought, in the shadow of the other’s light,” to “think what the thought of the other excludes not as something that is foreign, but rather as something that appears unthinkable and, for that very reason, remains to be thought.” Moving slowly toward their conceptualizations of love and heroism, Esposito unravels the West’s illusory metaphysical dream of peace, obliging us to reevaluate ceaselessly what it means to be responsible in the wake of past and contemporary forms of war.
