Simone Weil was a Platonist Christian Jewish mystic which can make it hard to understand what she is saying if there is not much context.

We use Google Analytics to see what pages are most visited, and where in the world visitors are visiting from. For this reason the book reads like a series of thoughts--in some cases it seems Weil is trying to reason out a complex concept for herself in much the same way an artist might doodle or a scientist might scribble down formulas. On the fiftieth anniversary of the first English edition, this Routledge Classics edition offers the English reader the complete text of this landmark work for the first time ever.
