La idea del Amor en el pensamiento de Simone Weil

Abstract

The indifference before the thought of women philosophers both committed to the world and capable of illuminating paths of spirituality, not lacking in philosophical depth like those of Simone Weil, led us to develop in this paper the subject of Love and its relationship with Truth. The actuality and pertinence of Simone Weil’s philosophical reflections are manifested in her validation of Love as a source of human and cosmic reality, that has been obscured by the human disorientation defined by her as rootlessness. Rootlessness originates in the loss of the essential unity of the Greek values of Good, Beauty, and Truth, and Weil appeals to human responsibility to restable its balance. The objective of this paper is to show the importance and clarity of the philosopher Simone Weil in the task of facing the abandonment of the sense of justice. The conclusion: that being itself, the structure of the universe (be it conceived in religious, physical or political terms) is susceptible of being comprehended if we are capable of conceiving it in terms of sensibility (body) and thought (soul), as an indivisible duality constitutive of the human condition.
