​

In attentiveness, the absence of the "I": exploring the essays of Simone Weil

​

Led by Chris Jones and Ruth Danstål

​

Thursdays at 9.30 am (from Thursday 25 April), Liddon Room

​

Simone Weil, the 20th century French mystic and philosopher, was described by T. S. Eliot as 'a kind of saint'. We will read together and discuss essays collected in her Waiting on God, on topics such as 'What is the true character of educational study?' and the relation between affliction and the love of God, as well as her (so-called) Spiritual Autobiography. Simone Weil's writings combine almost unparalleled profundity of thought with simplicity of expression and lively, original metaphors, boldness of ideas and purity of spirit, Platonism and Christianity. As she saw it, since Christ is Truth, all that is true is implicitly Christian.
