Hailed by Andre Gide as the patron saint of all outsiders, Simone Weil's short life was ample testimony to her beliefs. In 1942 she fled France along with her family, going firstly to America. She then moved back to London in order to work with de Gaulle. Published posthumously The Need for Roots was a direct result of this collaboration. Its purpose was to help rebuild France after the war. In this, her most famous book, Weil reflects on the importance of religious and political social structures in the life of the individual. She wrote that one of the basic obligations we have as human beings is to not let another suffer from hunger. Equally as important, however, is our duty towards our community: we may have declared various human rights, but we have overlooked the obligations and this has left us self-righteous and rootless. She could easily have been issuing a direct warning to us today, the citizens of Century 21.

評分 評分入口:宗教 豆瓣上有評論說韓東的《紮根》和這本書有淵源,其實如果說一個是在往東的話,那麼另一個就是在竭力朝西而去。書如其名。一個人如若沒有根,當真會活得很痛苦,或者終究會嘗到痛苦的報應。 公眾號:怎麼讀。(贈書贈碟目錄見內)
評分西濛娜·薇依,一個法國人,一個猶太人,一個極端的基督徒。一個“難以對付的、暴烈的、又是復雜個性的人”。一個三十三歲便死去的女人。一個纔具近乎聖徒的個性的女性。一個普通民眾尤其是受壓迫者——受人的邪惡與自私所壓迫以及受現代社會的無名力量所壓迫——的熱情鬥士。...
