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.
