The Absolute Sacrifice as an Attempt to Reach God. Reflections on the Work and Life of Simone Weil
The figure of the philosopher and her writing heritage is the main subject of this paper, which examines the phenomenon of her death. Despite numerous items of literature and research about Weil, no attempt has been made by any researcher to analyse her life and death. Looking at various cultural and philosophical aspects, researchers have sought to highlight her death as a human sacrifice. No researcher so far has ever examined the phenomenon of Weil’s death as a supererogative act. The figure of Simone Weil and an analysis of her death highlights the sacrifice aspect of her life.
