Weil Simone - Oppression And Liberty - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The remarkable French thinker Simone Weil is one of the leading intellectual and spiritual figures of the twentieth century. A legendary essayist political philosopher and member of the French resistance her literary output belied her tragically short life. Most of her work was published posthumously to widespread acclaim. Always concerned with the nature of individual freedom Weil explores in Oppression and Liberty its political and social implications. Analyzing the causes of oppression its mechanisms and forms she questions revolutionary responses and presents a prophetic view of a way forward. If as she noted elsewhere 'the future is made of the same stuff as the present' then there will always be a need to continue to listen to Simone Weil.
