Description
Simone Weil's notebooks offer a unique glimpse into her philosophical and spiritual development. Written in several inter-related ways, these notebooks serve as both workbooks for exploring ideas and records of things she had read and researched. They provide invaluable context and nuance to her later essays, making them an essential resource for understanding her thought. This volume brings together Weil's first notebook from 1934, alongside her final two notebooks written in New York and London between 1942-43. The latter have been widely read as books of great wisdom, while the earlier work reflects her experiences in a factory during this period.
