Annotation

See especially 3.2.1 "Simone Weil's Analysis of Force and Affliction", 3.4 "The Struggle toward a Theology of the Cross for the Mass Age: Weil versus Hegel" and 5.3.2 . Note many references to Weil throughout other sections of this book including the section 5.3.2 "Being and Acting in the World: The Theology of the Cross, Weil and Western Christianity"
