This book was released on 1998 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because it is impossible to distinguish Weil's life from her thought, her writings cannot be understood properly without linking them to her life and character. By situating Weil's political thought within the context of the intellectual climate of her time, Moulakis connects it also to her epistemology, her cosmology, and her personal experience.
