We owe thanks to Lawson and Livingstone for this insightful and wide ranging collection of essays that now brings these two prominent philosophers into an actual conversation, helping us understand both of them better. * Eric O. Springsted, founder of The American Weil Society; Author of Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century * This juxtaposition of two gifted twentieth century philosophers creates a penetrating conversation over deeply held convictions on the political events of their time and eternal philosophical issues. The Weil and Arendt scholars contribute enriching insights that sharpen the ability to understand profound questions confronting today's world, from political violence to God’s grace. * E. Jane Doering, Professor Emerita of French Language and Literature, University of Notre Dame, USA * This illuminating and wide range of essays guides its readers to mind-opening vistas in thinking about Arendt and Weil. Timely, resourceful, and engaging — a meaningful addition to the literature. * Ronald K.L. Collins, Editor of Attention and Co-editor with Eric Springsted, A Declaration of Duties Toward Humankind (2023) * Author InformationKathryn Lawson is a Lecturer and Researcher at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.
