Beskrivning
Simone Weil - philosopher, religious thinker, mystic, social/political activist - is notoriously difficult to categorize, since her life and writings challenge traditional academic boundaries. As many scholars have recognized, she set out few, if any, systematic theories, especially when it came to religious ideas. In this book, A. Rebecca Rozelle-Stone and Lucian Stone illuminate the ways in which Weil stands outside Western theological tradition by her use of paradox to resist the clamoring for greater degrees of certainty. Beyond a facile fallibilism, Simone Weil's ideas about the super-natural, love, Christianity, and spiritual action, and indeed, her seeming endorsement of a sort of atheism, detachment, foolishness, and passivity, begin to unravel old assumptions about what it is to encounter the divine.

Recensioner i media

Rebecca Rozelle-Stone and Lucian Stone critically apply Simone Weil’s “negative-reflective” theology to attitudes of modernity by grappling with the obscurities in her text. They explore her theories of attention as negative effort, creative action in “decreation”, positive elements in affliction, essential ties between love and justice, plus her ambivalence toward Judaism. This presentation of her thought opens the reader to Simone Weil's conception of human life, as she believed it to be revealed in the Gospels. Extensive references to other major thinkers and personal insights into this French philosopher’s thought make this work a provocative and valuable contribution to Weil studies.
