After presenting some of the difficulties which might arise in using the term 'relevance', Estelrich goes on to discuss the relevance of Weil's work both within the socioeconomic and political context of her life time as well as for the contemporary western world. He does an excellent job of synthesizing some of the major themes found within the Weil corpus and applying them to the problems he identifies in today's world. |
