The work of Simone Weil has not garnered the attention it deserves in the Anglo-American tradition. In this book, Rhees, the noted thinker trained by Wittgenstein, provides the most sustained critique to date of Weil's views on science and religion. In this decidedly Wittgensteinian spin on the philosophy of religion, Rhees' observations on the major themes in Weil's work -- social philosophy, science, ethics, and religion -- are presented. The book shows how Rhees wrestled with difficulties he found in the work of Weil, someone he held in the highest regard.
