In Simone Weil’s thought, waiting and attention constitute the conditions for an altruistic attitude, under the aegis of a mystical imperative. In its indissoluble intertwining with necessity, the mystical dimension of Weil’s thought assumes an imperative meaning that gives shape to a concrete and spiritual altruism, guided by justice and directed toward ourselves, toward others (all others, even the wicked), and toward God.

Abstract
In Simone Weil’s thought, waiting and attention constitute the conditions for an altruistic attitude, under the aegis of a mystical imperative. In its indissoluble intertwining with necessity, the mystical dimension of Weil’s thought assumes an imperative meaning that gives shape to a concrete and spiritual altruism, guided by justice and directed toward ourselves, toward others (all others, even the wicked), and toward God.File in questo prodotto:
