Ecological Ethics and the Philosophy of Simone Weil 1st Edition

Ecological Ethics and the Philosophy of Simone Weil (1st Edition) by Kathryn Lawson invites readers into a thoughtful, urgent conversation at the intersection of spiritual philosophy and contemporary environmental thought. With clear, rigorous prose, Lawson reinterprets Weil’s reflections—on attention, rootedness, affliction, and the moral limits of force—to illuminate fresh ethical responses to climate change, biodiversity loss, and social injustice.

This book guides scholars, students, and concerned citizens through a series of close readings and applied analyses that make Weil’s often-overlooked ideas accessible and relevant to today’s ecological crises. Lawson demonstrates how Weil’s emphasis on humility, care, and the moral duty to attend to suffering can reshape debates in environmental philosophy, sustainability, and policy. The result is a bridge between historical insight and practical ethics that speaks to activists, academics, and global readers alike.

Perfect for courses in environmental ethics, religious studies, and contemporary philosophy, this edition offers a compelling framework for rethinking human obligations to the nonhuman world and to vulnerable communities. Whether you’re researching ecoethics for the United States, Europe, or beyond, Lawson’s work provides a concise, persuasive roadmap for integrating spiritual sensibility with rigorous moral argument.
