John Rawls

Tested out JournalTOCs ("the largest, free collection of scholarly journal Tables of Contents)  -  http://www.journaltocs.hw.ac.uk/ -   to see what articles it would uncover on Simone.  Surprisingly there are not very many but  included among the 15 results is this early view article comparing John Rawls and Weil:

Heifetz, Aviad, and Enrico Minelli. "Overlapping Consensus Thin and Thick: John Rawls and Simone Weil." .Philosophical Investigations  (2015 - Article in Press): 1-23, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/phin.12123/epdf.
