Simone Weil (1909-1943), the French-Jewish thinker, dedicated her life during a time of significant upheaval, breaks, and questions that continue to resonate today, to the principle of an uncompromising search for truth. Knowledge became valid for her only when it withstood the harsh realities of politics and everyday practice or could be translated into these. She validated her insights through her own work in heavy industry and agriculture, her participation in labor strikes, actions of the republican militia during the Spanish Civil War, and the Resistance in France, and finally in her emigration to New York and London. Core points of her struggle for truth were the connection and compatibility of the misfortune, suffering, and misery of the innocent throughout the centuries with the love of God. From her unwavering authenticity and her connection to the timeless, the religiously grounded writings published here draw their guiding radiance for today's reader. They can serve as a counterforce against all threats of our time posed by fakehood and lies.
