Weil, Sylvie

Simone Weil -- 1909-1943 Simone Weil (pronounced "vey") was a French philosopher, activist and mystic. She wrote with the clarity of a brilliant mind educated in the best French schools, the social conscience of a grass-roots labor organizer, the boldness of an anarchist and the certainty and humility of a Christian mystic.
