Annotation |
Osmolska labels her work a 'psychobiography' of Simone Weil. She uses what she calls an 'existential-phenomenological' approach, seeking to reconstruct Weil's world by minimizing the subject/object divide in an attempt to identify with Weil, leading to a greater, sympathetic knowledge of who she was and why she chose to do and say the things she did. |
