Hello everyone! Thanks again for making the show possible. Bit of behind the scenes for Patreon people: This one was supposed to be out a lot sooner, but I found it bleeding into part three of the series a bit too much. It was tough to find where the lines were between the two and it took some substantial revisions to get here. Good news though-- that work was frontloaded and now part three is almost done. Looking forward to getting you more to think about ASAP. 


Hope you're having a good new year so far!

Hey Stephen! Amazing series thank you for sharing her with us!! So you might already know there is a 2010 documentary called "An encounter with Simone Weil " on Amazon prime🙂 it looks wonderful and I plan on watching it asap. Just thought I'd share!

Great work Stephen! When you talked about French colonialism, I couldn't help to think that it might be a great time to look at post-colonialism and its founding figures such as CLR James, Franz Fanon, Edward Said, and Gayatri Spivak.

Always worth the wait Mr West!

While I admire her moral consistency, I can’t help but think she couldn’t have understood those factory workers any more than any other philosopher sitting in a classroom. Weil had the option to leave, the freedom to choose, she was never in their shoes.

That last line hit me hard. Thanks Stephen.

Simone was the definition of don’t talk about it, be about it. Love it.
