About this ebook

What does it mean to attend to another person's need without turning that person into a symbol? This original English guide follows Simone Weil through factory labor, humiliation, attention, affliction, force, obligations, rootedness, and spiritual thought. It also questions the romanticizing of suffering and asks how institutions can make listening accountable. Eighteen chapters, a glossary, annotated sources, and an invented workplace case make her demanding ideas concrete. A critical introduction, not a work by Weil.
