Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - French philosopher Simone Weil's best known work that promotes mindful living and instructs readers how they can once again feel rooted, in a cultural and spiritual sense, to their environmentA Penguin ClassicOne of the foremost French philosophers of the last century, Simone Weil has been described by André Gide as 'the patron saint of all outsiders' and by Albert Camus as 'the only great spirit of our time.' In this, her most famous work, she diagnoses the malaise at the heart of modern life: uprootedness, from the past and from community. Written towards the end of World War II for the Free French Army, Weil's work is an indispensable and perpetually intriguing text for readers and students of philosophy everywhere. The book discusses the political, cultural and spiritual currents that ought to be nurtured so that people have access to sources of energy which will help them lead fulfilling, joyful and morally good lives.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hailed by Andre Gide as the patron saint of all outsiders, Simone Weil's short life was ample testimony to her beliefs. In 1942 she fled France along with her family, going firstly to America. She then moved back to London in order to work with de Gaulle. Published posthumously The Need for Roots was a direct result of this collaboration. Its purpose was to help rebuild France after the war. In this, her most famous book, Weil reflects on the importance of religious and political social structures in the life of the individual. She wrote that one of the basic obligations we have as human beings is to not let another suffer from hunger. Equally as important, however, is our duty towards our community: we may have declared various human rights, but we have overlooked the obligations and this has left us self-righteous and rootless. She could easily have been issuing a direct warning to us today, the citizens of Century 21. …

Preceded by the U.K. first edition the same year. Quite presentable copy of Weil's posthumously-published masterpiece, written in London the year before her death from self-inflicted starvation, published in French as L'Enracinement: prélude à une déclaration des devoirs envers l'être humain (Paris: Gallimard, 1949). Perhaps owing somewhat to Eliot's effusive preface, this rather difficult work of social theory, begun as an analysis of France's capitulation to the Nazis during the Vichy period, achieved a large English-language readership (though, as with its clear analogue, Arendt's The Human Condition, it's unclear how much the book was actually read by those who discussed it). Regardless, The Need For Roots remains one of the essential works of the post-war period. Never out of print, but quite hard to find in the first edition.…
