Description

Richard H. Bell analyzes the social and political thought of Simone Weil, paying particular attention to Weil's concept of justice as compassion. Bell describes the ways in which Weil's concept of justice stands in contrast with liberal rights-based views of justice, and focuses upon central aspects of her thought, including attention, human suffering and affliction, and the importance of a spiritual way of life in reshaping the individual's role in civic life.

He is the editor of Simone Weil's Philosophy of Culture (Cambridge), and the co-editor of many books, including Seeds of the Spirit: Wisdom of the Twentieth Century and The Grammar of the Heart: New Essays in Moral Philosophy and Theology.
