Simone Weil, Beyond Ideology?

The book "Simone Weil, Beyond Ideology?" offers an in-depth examination of the work of the French philosopher Simone Weil, who is known for her diverse and often contradictory views. In recent years, interest in Weil's writings has grown, as her thoughts on topics such as syndicalism, technology, education, and religious metaphysics resonate with a broad readership. Notably, Weil's work eludes any clear ideological categorization, making it a fascinating subject for contemporary political philosophy. The volume takes a dual approach: on one hand, it presents conversations between Weil and significant modern political theorists like Sandel and Rawls; on the other hand, it offers a detailed analysis of Weil's reflections on various ideologies. The aim of the book is to explore Weil's complex thought without placing it within a specific ideological tradition.
