Weil and mathematics

Aviad Heifetz just recently informed me of the publication of his article: 

Heifetz, Aviad. 2022. "‘None Enters Here Unless He is a Geometer’: Simone Weil on the Immorality of Algebra."  Axiomathes. doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10516-022-09628-0. 


A search of the Simone Weil Bibliography for keyword mathematics retrieves over 25 references in addition to Aviad's work.

Michel Serres and Weil

In a blog post in 2019, I noted Weil's influence on Serres.   An article on Serres and Weil was just published in Research in Phenomenology:


Oele, Marjolein. 2022. "Dialectics of Silence for a Time of Crisis: Rethinking the Visionary Insights of Michel Serres and Simone Wei."  Research in Phenomenology 52 (2):183-202. doi: https://doi.org/10.1163/15691640-12341495. 



I have also located two older articles that talk about Serres and Weil:


Serres, Michel, and François L'Yvonnet. 2014. ""Une intensité de lumière": Entretien avec Michel Serres." In Simone Weil, edited by Emmanuel Gabellieri and François L'Yvonnet, 35-39. Paris: L'Herne Editions. 

Dufresne, Jacques. 2019. "Michel Serres et Simone Weil: un même combat contre la force." In L'Encyclopédie de L'Agora, edited by Hélène  Laberge and Jacques Dufresne. [Ayer's Cliff, Québec] : Agora. : http://agora.qc.ca/documents/michel_serres_et_simone_weil_un_meme_combat_contre_la_force.
