    Intelligence and Insight
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2015*

Breathtaking intelligence and beautifully written. If you are interested in Philosophy and Metaphsics this book is a must read. She began life as a left wing intellectual with a sharp insight into Greek mythology, and somehow she seemed to have read everything in the western canon and beyond when she was in her twenties. However, she was not content with the life of a teacher and intellectual she wanted to live her ideals. As a result she forced herself to live a life of poverty working in a factory in order to know what it felt to be afflicted. The experience almost killed her but led to a series of spiritual experiences which brought her to the door of Christianity. She never actually entered the Church and her analysis of why she couldn't is profound. Her essay on Homer is outstanding and illuminates why power always corrupts, this was the basis for her demolition of Communism as a panacea for the ills of her day. There are so many insights in this book it is hard to do it justice. We still live in a world on the brink of chaos and she is as relevant now as she was 70 years ago, everyone should read some Simone Weil and this is a very good place to start.

    unique genius
  

*by F***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 March 2010*

This is an excellent introduction to Simone Weil - that bizarre but wonderful mix of social engineer, radical philosopher and Christian mystic. There are 5 complete essays and 12 extracts from longer works, mostly Gravity and Grace. The introduction and notes from the editors are very well chosen.The subject matter is mostly speculation on the soul, human nature and on how society can be ordered so that everyone can live fulfilled and meaningful lives with oppression of the weak being avoided. 'The Illiad or the poem of force' stood out as one of the most remarkable short essays Ive ever read and transformed my understanding of Homers tragedy.Simone is very drawn to psychology, not in a (psudo) scientific way but the sort of understanding you can only get from life or from the great writers like Shakespeare - and she shares her thoughts in a very straightforward way. She has a very rare gift to write about difficult topics with clarity and without over simplifying or distorting the meaning.

    mysticism and resistance
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2013*

I started reading Simone Weil to write a paper comparing her understanding of atheism to that of Emma Goldman. Weil was a pioneer of post-modern spirituality and apophatic theology within the Catholic tradition. Through her own suffering and her reflections on the suffering of those most alienated by the world Weil helps us face our most frightening questions about meaning and being.For activists this book will ground you in a subversive spirituality. For mystics this book will remind you of the radical implications of your mystical being.
