Review Books Classics, [2014] Call #: 324.2 W422o Subjects Weil, Simone, 1909-1943 -- Political and social views.   Political science. Series New York Review Books classics. ISBN:  9781590177815 Description:  xii, 71 p. ; 20 cm. Notes:  Translated from the French. Summary:  "Simone Weil--philosopher, activist, mystic--is one of the most uncompromising of modern spiritual masters. In On the Abolition of All Political Parties she challenges the foundation of the modern liberal political order, making an argument that has particular resonance today, when the apathy and anger of the people and the self-serving partisanship of the political class present a threat to democracies all over the world. Dissecting the dynamic of power and propaganda caused by party spirit, the increasing disregard for truth in favor of opinion, and the consequent corruption of education, journalism, and art, Weil forcefully makes the case that a true politics can only begin where party spirit ends. This volume also includes an admiring portrait of Weil by the great poet Czeslaw Milosz and an essay about Weil’s friendship with Albert Camus by the translator Simon Leys."--From publisher.
