Europeana

Europeana.eu - 6 million digital items from the libraries, archives and museums of Europe. Not much currently on Simone, but it is a growing collection!

New Google feature

Just learned today that if you are using Google Books - Advanced search feature you can limit search to magazine articles. Did that for Simone and located a poem called "Video Games with Simone Weil" in the magazine The Third Way - http://books.google.com/books?id=f4JYvb1WoIEC&pg=PA10&dq=simone+weil&hl=en&ei=Oqm8TM6DFJKssAPO4am1Dw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CDkQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=simone%20weil&f=false.

Another interesting work this pulled was a quote from her in The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in 1959!

You can't judge a thesis by its title!

It is fascinating how the ability to search full-text has revealed sources of works on Simone that might otherwise have been passed by. The title of the work below does not signal that it would have anything to do with Simone, but in fact the bulk of it does!

Khatib, Michael. "The Examination of Certain Theories of Human Perfection in Relation to Their Authors' Valuation of Human Materiality." University of Ottawa, 1997

From the abstract: "I also provide a detailed analysis of Simone Weil's philosophy, bringing to light the positive value she placed on the material aspects of human existence in relation to man's final end. "
