The life and work of Simone Weil \u2013 philosopher, mystic, activist, and enigma \u2013 has defied easy description and categorization. Although Albert Camus categorised her as \u2018the only great spirit of our times\u2019, in recent years attention has been given to her metaphysics, her political philosophy, and the radicality and subversiveness of her ideas. Beyond that, the range and depth of her interests and analysis has proved salient and of continued interest in relation to social and political problems.<\/p>\n
As per Andr\u00e9 Gide\u2019s identification of Weil as the \u2018patron saint of all outsiders\u2019, Weil stood, and still stands in contrast to the predominant trends in philosophy, political theory, and theology. Her thought provides a productive, innovative, and interdisciplinary lens from which to approach and address the 21st century\u2019s most pressing problems as they relate to the three key disciplines of politics, philosophy, and theology. This conference aims to explore Weil\u2019s work in relation to these concerns.<\/p>\n
