Using examples drawn from McCarthy’s The Road, Horn looks at Weil's notions of the 'absence of God', necessity, the beautiful and goodness in order to "consider what Weil means by necessity and its relations to beauty, and then consider how justice is connected to these, and finally the link between all three concepts and her remark about the absence of God" (pp. 187 - 188). He thus begins with discussion of necessity and beauty, going on to look at justice and goodness, and finally, goodness and faith |
