Simone Weil, The Need for Roots
Tuesday, July 30 | 6.00-8.00 | Elm Library
Written during the Second World War, Simone Weil’s The Need for Roots argues that the individualism of the modern world results in a state of uprootedness, which in turn leads to a distinctively modern sense of isolation and unhappiness. Weil explores the principles that should inform a culture that more effectively met our fundamental human needs.
