Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"
A brilliant, paradoxical figure….In an age of ‘inspirational’ books without inspiration, her writing is unmatched for surprising, sometimes shocking, spiritual insight."
—New York Times"
The only great spirit of our time."
—Albert Camus"
The most truly spiritual writer of this century."
—André Gide"
This beguiling book is a fine introduction to Weil’s work."
—Publisher’s Weekly"
An excellent introduction to Weil’s writings and also a valuable guide and stimulus for cultivating a life in which intellectual and spiritual honesty are inseparable, and in which the difficulty of attaining them is seriously confronted. It is ideal for classroom use, for introducing a friend to Weil, or for revisiting her long after an earlier encounter to be reminded why she is such a compelling and challenging interlocutor."—
Mark Shiffman, Front Porch Republic"Love in the Void is a reminder to neophytes and the experienced alike that Weil’s writing is meant to be concrete, accessible, and useful – more than simply ideas to ponder, but an invitation to change our lives. Plough has done an admirable job in assembling a condensed version of Weil’s most pertinent writing. This is Weil burned down to her essentials."
—Scott Beauchamp"An exciting encounter with an extraordinary mind."
