This inviting volume presents five sets of texts-nearly all of them published for the first time in English-by one of the few truly great thinkers of this century. ``Science and Perception in Descartes,'' Weil's dissertation for the Ecole Normale Superieure, argues that ordinary perception and work are contacts with reality as authentic as scientific knowledge, and constitute the essence of science; ``The Situation in Germany'' is a group of ten journalistic essays on Hitler's rise to power and on Communist politics; ``Factory Journal'' is the diary of her nine months as an unskilled worker in three factories; ``War and Peace'' consists of 15 pieces on pacificism; and ``Philosophy'' is a graceful discussion of art, science, and philosophy in the context of Oriental and Western mysticism. There are excellent introductions to each set of texts and to the collection as a whole, as well as a preface and footnotes. Strongly recommended for all collections on Weil, philosophy, politics, and history, along with the following recent studies: Simone Weil: Interpretations of a Life, ed. by G.A. White (1981); John Hellman's Simone Weil (CH, Sep '83); Dorothy McFarland's Simone Weil (CH, Dec '83); and Eric Springsted's Simone Weil and the Suffering of Love (CH, Oct '86). Appropriate for general and advanced readers.-M. Andic, University of Massachusetts at Boston

Once recognized primarily for her mystical writings, Weil is rightfully receiving renewed critical interest in her philosophical and political works. This collection of her essays on topics ranging from Descartes to Hitler's Germany, from her experiences as an unskilled factory worker to her con sidered responses to philosophical questions on war and peace, clearly illustrates Weil's humanitarianism and intellectual rigor. The translations are limpid and the introductory essays provide helpful background. Both scholars and readers new to Weil will find that this engaging compendium elucidates both contemporary issues and Weil's development as an observer of the second quarter of this century.
