Description

Simone Weil's Waiting for God is a profound exploration of faith, doubt, and morality. In this collection of essays, Weil grapples with the demands of Christian belief and commitment, seeking a balance between individual thought and the need for guidance. Weil's work is characterized by its intellectual power and fierce independence of mind, as evident in her exploration of the 'just balance' of the world and the concept of a 'sacred longing'. She argues that humanity's search for beauty is driven by an underlying desire for a tangible god, and that we should regard God as providing two forms of guidance: our ability to think for ourselves and our need for physical and emotional 'matter'. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Introduction by Janet Soskice and retains the Foreword to the 1979 edition by Malcolm Muggeridge.
