ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Simone Weil

Simone Weil (1909-1943) lived a long and short life. Born in Paris into an agnostic Jewish family, at the age of 22 she taught philosophy at a school in a French mining town. She decided to live on the five francs a day given to the unemployed, handing her salary over to the miners' cashier. In Paris, where she worked as an anonymous laborer, she witnessed the servitude imposed by technology, the commodification of man, and the annihilation of thought in the production of goods. A philosopher, mystic, pacifist, anarchist, and activist in the French Resistance, Weil was one of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century, "the only great spirit of our time" (Camus) with "a heart capable of beating through the entire universe" (Beauvoir). She died at the age of 34, weakened and malnourished, in solidarity with her compatriots subjected to rationing.
