Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century

Eric Springsted

Role: Author

Written by a celebrated scholar and co-founder of the American Weil Society

Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century presents a comprehensive analysis of Weil’s interdisciplinary thought, focusing especially on the depth of its challenge to contemporary philosophical and religious studies. In a world where little is seen to have real meaning, Mr. Eric O. Springsted, co-founder of the American Weil Society, presents a critique of the unfocused nature of postmodern philosophy and argues that Weil’s thought is more significant than ever in showing how the world in which we live is, in fact, a world of mysteries.
