"""Deracinement/Enracinement"" Iin the writings of Simone Weil"
Abstract
dc:description"The simple opposition implied by Simone Weil's own explicit usage of the terms ""deracinement/enracinement"" in some of her essays appearing in the collections entitled L'Enracinement, Ecrits historiques et politiques, and La Pesanteur et la Grace, leads the readers towards a false reduction of Weil's philosophy. This study examines the various, complex movements of ""deracinement/enracinement"" throughout all of Weil's writings on philosophy, power, myth, history, politics, science, religion, and language. This has been done in order to understand the complexity and depth of Weil's ideas on the loss of continuum, the central concern throughout her writings and her life."
