Offering new insight into the pertinence of Simone Weil's thought, this volume situates her in the Continental discourses which constituted her philosophical background, her milieu, and which frequently reflected her departures from her contemporaries. The book includes fresh critical perspectives on the philosophies of prominent twentieth and twenty-first century theorists like Foucault, Blanchot, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, Agamben, and Ranciere.
