Annotation |
Tracy begins this chapter with a brief description and discussion of Weil’s three mystical experiences. He then proceeds to give an overview of the content and form of her writing, followed by a discussion of her problematic and disconcerting response to the Jewish tradition. Tracy then offers an in-depth exploration of Weil’s ‘Christian Platonism’ and the complex theology to which it gave rise. |
