Cabaud explores the complex relationship between ethics and esthetics in Weil's thought. Drawing on Weil's work on these subjects, found in two short articles: "Morality and Literature" and "The Responsibility of Writers", as well as in her Notebooks, letters and major works, Cabaud presents an in-depth analysis of and critical reflection upon Weil's treatment of art, beauty, good and evil, literature, morality and music. |
