E. Jane Doering Libros

Engaging deeply with the concepts of power and force, Simone Weil's philosophical journey reflects her struggle with pacifism and the ethical implications of violence, especially during the rise of Nazism. E. Jane Doering meticulously analyzes Weil's notebooks and lesser-known essays, shedding light on her evolving views on war and injustice, influenced by mystical experiences and her engagement with the Bhagavad Gita. This work includes expert translations of Weil's recently published notebooks, appealing to scholars across various disciplines, including philosophy and political science.

Explores the intersection between the philosophy of Simone Weil from Paris, France, and the fiction of Flannery O'Connor from the Southern state of Georgia, USA.
