Simone Weil and the Struggle against Time

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Simone Weil and the Struggle against Time

Saturday 03 February 2024 is the 115th anniversary of the birth of Simone Weil (03 February 1909 – 24 August 1943), who was born in Paris on this date in 1909.

Weil’s Christian Platonism was expressed in a distinctive providential philosophy of history that distances itself from any manifestation of the divine in actual history, which is given over to the struggle against time as we keep our eyes fixed on the eternal order in which we will eventually take our place.
