Annotation |
Radzins argues that Weil offers a ‘revised, more incarnated, Christianity’. Arguing that Weil’s materialism is central to this revision, Radzins presents two senses of the material in Weil’s thought claiming Weil’s views are “an uncanny synthesis of Marxist materiality and Greek Cosmology that takes the world as the site of Christian truth” (p. 223). She goes on to examine Weil’s ‘materiality’ and ‘cosmology’ in greater depth and then goes on to show how they unite in Weil’s views of Christianity. |
