| 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.
