Simone Weil

Reviews / Votes

"There have been other, more personal attempts to paint her portrait. . .But this effort to string her thought to-gether, to give some picture of her in-tellectual attitudes is the best we have had in English so far."-Times Literary Supplement



"Having previously edited some of Weil's works, Rees is well prepared to provide this sketch of her life. . .He gives a good survey and exposition of her numerous writings on philosophy, religious thought, science, and social questions. . . For those who seek a fairly complete knowledge of Weil, particularly for the English speaking, itwill be necessary to consult this book."-Choice
