Essays and correspondence on human life and transcendence

Built from Simone Weil’s discussions and correspondence with Reverend Father Perrin, this collection brings together her reflections on the relation between human existence and the transcendent. The book sits at the meeting point of religious philosophy and social concern: its meditations address spiritual questions while also engaging the political dimensions of thought. Presented as a collection rather than a single continuous argument, it offers a concentrated introduction to Weil’s concerns with transcendence, human life, and the connections between spiritual and political inquiry.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in religious philosophy and transcendence
  • Those exploring Simone Weil’s thought
  • Readers seeking essays that connect spiritual and political questions

Book overview

Emerging from the thought-provoking discussions and correspondence Simone Weil had with the Reverend Father Perrin, this classic collection of essays contains the renowned philosopher and social activist's most profound meditations on the relationship of human life to the realm of the transcendent. An enduring masterwork and "one of the most neglected resources of our century" (Adrienne Rich), Waiting for God will continue to influence spiritual and political thought for centuries to come.
