Om denne bog

A new translation of Simone Weil''s best-known work: a political, philosophical and spiritual treatise on what human life could be


What do humans require to be truly nourished? Simone Weil, one of the foremost philosophers of the last century, envisaged us all as being bound by unconditional, eternal obligations towards every other human being. In The Need for Roots, her most famous work, she argued that our greatest need was to be rooted: in a community, a place, a shared past and collective future hopes. Written for the Free French movement while she was exiled in London during the Second World War, Weil''s visionary combination of philosophy, politics and mysticism is her answer to the question of what life without occupation - and oppression - might be.
''The patron saint of all outsiders'' Andre Gide

''The only great spirit of our time'' Albert Camus

Translated by Ros Schwartz, with an introduction by Kate Kirkpatrick.
