The philosopher at the gate of the word: a study of Simone Weil’s transformative literature
Original language description
Can literature help us in a time of crisis? Yes, in many and unexpected ways, as Simone Weil’s literary work shows. Reading Weil’s unfinished tragedy Venice Saved in the context of her poetry, philosophy and politics, we argue that it is an example of literary work that can engender transformation, for three reasons: its presentation and encouragement of attention to beauty; its tragic tension, forcing a deeper vision of the world; and its use of the poetic word. These elements, we conclude, make literature a prime tool for inner and outer transformation, especially when everything seems to be lost.
