Notebooks. Volume IV: July 1942 - August 1943. Weil S.

The fourth, final volume of Simona Weil’s notebooks contains texts related to the last year of the philosopher’s life - from the beginning of emigration to a dying illness that has not allowed her to be realized to give life for the freedom of France in the armed struggle with the Nazis.

In addition to the actual notebooks, a number of articles of religious, political and even military maintenance are included here. Mystical stress, the pathos of the preacher and readiness for the martyrdom are combined here with a balanced and perspicacious political analysis; The desire for absolute good, proclaimed as the only goal - with ideas and proposals, the common practical meaning of which confirmed time and experience.

Tom is complemented by the conversation of the translator with the literary critic Olga Bell. The publication is dedicated to the memory of Francois Fede, a French philosopher who died on April 29, 2021.
