Philosophy
| This section may contain original research. |
Weil's philosophy contained elements of both spirituality and politics; she had both an intensely personal spiritual drive, and a social philosophy that emphasized the relationships between individuals and groups. This intersection of thought developed in her an interest in healing social rifts of the proletariat and providing for the physical and psychological needs of humanity.

Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:
“While you’re playing cards with a regular guy or having a bite to eat with him, he seems a peaceable, good-humoured and not entirely dense person. But just begin a conversation with him about something inedible, politics or science, for instance, and he ends up in a deadend or starts in on such an obtuse and base philosophy that you can only wave your hand and leave.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“A new philosophy generally means in practice the praise of some old vice.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Only a philosophy of eternity, in the world today, could justify non-violence.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
