There have been other, more personal attempts to paint her portrait. . . But this effort to string her thought together, to give some picture of her intellectual attitudes is the best we have had in English so far. "Times Literary Supplement"" Having previously edited some of Weil s works, Rees is well prepared to provide this sketch of her life. . . He gives a good survey and exposition of her numerous writings on philosophy, religious thought, science, and social questions. . . For those who seek a fairly complete knowledge of Weil, particularly for the English speaking, it will be necessary to consult this book.
