'The climate crisis calls for a radical rethink of our cushy, carbon-heavy lives and our collective willingless to make sacrifices for future generations', writes Justine Doh in her interesting article about the relevance of the French philosopher and political activist Simone Weil for today's world.

Because: 'If anyone can offer us an earthly education in sacrifice, it's Simone Weil. (...) Hers was a lived philosophy.'

I’m writing a chapter on aesthetic attention & attachment & I am eye deep in Simone Weil. She’s always seductive and perplexing, but I especially like this coordination of the diminishment of liberal individualism—its inclinations to rationality, mastery, atomization—as a precondition for attentiveness and, ultimately, relation (and what I would call attachment):

On dit toujours que la force est impuissante à dompter la pensée ; mais pour que ce soit vrai, il faut qu'il y ait pensée. Là où les opinions irraisonnées tiennent lieu d'idées, la force peut tout.
