Thesis on Weil and Buddhism

Earlier I posted a list of works on Weil and Buddhism and note that the posting has garnered considerable interest.

I have since located the following thesis which includes a discussion of Weil and Zen Buddhism:


Sekino, Tetsuya. "Peut-on Parler De Dieu Aujourd'hui ? : De Wittgenstein À Simone Weil." Philosophy, vol. PhD, Diss, Université Jean Moulin (Lyon 3), 2016, p. 234. general editor, Jean Jacques Wunenburger, http://www.theses.fr/2016LYSE3024http://www.theses.fr/2016LYSE3024.

New Records added to Simone Weil Bibliography

Over 65 new records have been  added to the online version of the bibliography  https://simoneweil.library.ucalgary.ca

 4, 269 records are now posted and I have about 700 I am working on and continue to collect more!  My goal is to add at least 25 records to the online version each month.  Please let me know of works I am missing.

The bibliography is fully keyword searchable and you can also limit your search to particular author, date, keyword, language and/or reference type.

Foucault

Johannes Rytzler  has just published an article  focussed on Weil and Foucault:
