Stanley offers, in this essay, a systematic summary and exposition of Weil’s views on evil as outlined in three of her works: Waiting for God, The Need for Roots and Gravity and Grace. In so doing, Stanley also offers a brief discussion of some of the secondary sources focusing on Weil’s treatment of evil, he has found to be of value in giving him a better, more in-depth understanding of Weil and her work. |
