Sinossi
Una nuova traduzione dell'opera più nota di Simone Weil: un trattato politico, filosofico e spirituale su cosa potrebbe essere la vita umana Di cosa hanno bisogno gli esseri umani per essere veramente nutriti? Simone Weil, una delle più importanti filosofie del secolo scorso, ci immaginava tutti come vincolati da obblighi incondizionati ed eterni verso ogni altro essere umano. In The Need for Roots, la sua opera più famosa, sosteneva che il nostro più grande bisogno era di essere radicati: in una comunità, un luogo, un passato condiviso e speranze future collettive. Scritta per il movimento francese libero mentre era esiliata a Londra durante la seconda guerra mondiale, la combinazione visionaria di filosofia, politica e misticismo di Weil è la sua risposta alla domanda su cosa potrebbe essere la vita senza occupazione - e oppressione. "Il santo patrono di tutti gli outsider" André Gide "L'unico grande spirito del nostro tempo" Albert Camus Tradotto da Ros Schwartz, con un'introduzione di Kate Kirkpatrick.

Informazioni sull?autore
Simone Weil Simone Weil (1909-1943) was a French political activist, mystic, and a singular figure in French philosophy. She studied at the elite École Normale Supérieure, obtained her agrégation (teaching diploma) in philosophy in 1931, worked at Renault from 1934 to 1935, enlisted in the International Brigades in 1936 and worked as a farm laborer in 1941. She left France in 1942 for New York and then London, where she worked for General de Gaulle's Free French movement. Most of her works, published posthumously, consist of some notebooks and a collection of religious essays. They include, in English, Waiting for God (1951), Gravity and Grace (1952), The Need for Roots (1952), Notebooks (2 vol., 1956), Oppression and Liberty (1958), and Selected Essays, 1934-1943 (1962).

What do humans require to be truly nourished? Simone Weil, one of the foremost philosophers of the last century, envisaged us all as being bound by unconditional, eternal obligations towards every other human being. In The Need for Roots, her most famous work, she argued that our greatest need was to be rooted: in a community, a place, a shared past and collective future hopes.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A new translation of Simone Weil's best-known work- a political, philosophical and spiritual treatise on what human life could beAn icon of twentieth-century French philosophy, Simone Weil was described by Andre Gide as 'the patron saint of all outsiders' and by Albert Camus as 'the only great spirit of our time'. In this, one of her last and best-known works, she offers a vision of what human life could be - where the needs of our bodies are met and the needs of the soul, too, are better known and nurtured.Written in 1943, when France was occupied and Weil was working in the offices of the Free France in London, The Need for Roots responds to a plea both timely and timeless- what can satisfy the cry of our hearts for justice? In the same decade that saw the UN Declaration of Human Rights, Weil argues that rights alone are inadequate to the task - and encourages her contemporaries not to repeat the mistakes of the French Revolution and the malaise of modern life. The alternative she offers has intrigued and inspired generations of readers since. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
