Simone Weil: An Intellectual Biography

Simone Weil: An Intellectual Biography pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

This decade has been rife with the publication, translation, and critical study of Weil, whom the current biographer aptly characterizes as "thinking, writing, and living" in simultaneous coincidence. Claimed by various devotees as religiously inspired and inspirational, philosophically astute, and politically prophetic, Weil as she is chronicled here seems a likely candidate for all these descriptions. Published in Italian in 1981, Fiori's work relies on Weil's own papers, interviews with her friends, and the scholarship that had been published by that time. This solid biography offers no particular revelation or slant on its subject but is satisfyingly comprehensive, cogently documented, skillfully translated, and probably useful to scholars as well as to general readers who may not be familiar with Weil. For most general collections.

- Francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley P.L., Cal.

Anti-fascist intellectual Weil was a tangle of contradictions. She advocated pacifism yet fought alongside anarchists in Spain. Born in Paris to wealthy Jewish parents, she embraced her own semimystical version of Catholicism while seeking "a philosophical cleansing of the Catholic religion." Weil worked in a factory, lived an ascetic existence, neglected her health, slept on floors. She displayed, in Fiori's words, an "inner infantilism" that combined extreme purity of heart with an inability to accept the life of a grown woman. Weil died in 1943 of self-starvation, leaving behind notebooks and essays in which she poured out her thoughts on the need for a spiritual-political regeneration to overcome Nazi pseudo-religion and Soviet-style workers' bureaucracy. This empathetic philosophical biography by a retired Italian teacher only partially succeeds in illuminating her complex character.
