I'm just about done with my first full-draft of my article for the Routledge Companion on Simone Weil

CfP: The American Weil Society invites proposals for papers at our 2025 Colloquy at Marquette University 24-25 April 2025. The Theme is "Simone Weil: Philosopher, Activist, Mystic." Proposals are due SEPT 30!

I had a great chat with Craig about Simone Weil for his new channel which you can watch now! Note, though, that I misspoke when claiming that Camus commissioned Gravity and Grace. He did commission some of her books, just not that one.

Weil and her readers deserve better than this warmed over misogyny of past men who wrote biographies of her. Weil scholars don't consider Gravity & Grace to be a useful source for her thought. And this is a terrible misreading of The Need for Roots.

If you're looking for a good article on Weil, try this instead of that bunk in the New Yorker: blog.apaonline.org/2023/10/27/rec…
