Thesis on Weil, Marx and work

From the title you would not know that this thesis is filled with over 400 references to Weil:

Comment in the Guardian

Interesting comment in the Guardian comment section by Mishra Pankaj on Simone Weil and uprootedness entitled "The need for roots brought home the modern era's disconnection with the past and the loss of community"

Pankaj notes:

 "But her most original move was to abandon the language of rights – the claims of possessive individuals against others that had provided political philosophy with its syntax since Hobbes and Locke. Instead, she talked of needs, duties and obligations as the basis of a good society – something that would be immediately familiar to Buddhist philosophers but remains marginal in the western tradition of political theory."

New Castle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2011. 103-13, the authors note that while  there is much mention of Weil's influence on Murdoch, "few explore it in any sustained way".  The one major study referenced is the one by Griffin,  but I have a found a number of works focussing on Weil and Murdoch including the following:
