Mysticism
Annotation
'There are certain words which possess, in themselves, when properly used, a virtue which illumines and lifts up towards the good' In these selected writings by Simone Weil - philosopher, activist, mystic - she explores the influence of language employed by the powerful, an individual's rights and responsibilities, and foods of the soul such as liberty, truth, security and equality. Provocative, eloquent and deeply moral, these are essays to untangle the intangible, nourish the spirit and inspire thought.
