Simone Weil

Simone Weil remains one of the most fascinating figures in twentieth century religious thought. A French philosopher, activist, and mystic, she repeatedly sought to enter into the world of the workers and the poor. Though her mystical esperiences brought her to the threshold of the Catholic church, she chose not to enter. Throught the introuction by Eric O. Springsted and his selection of her writings, this volume offers an effective entry to her life and thought.
