Waiting for God

Waiting for God

'You cannot get far in these essays without sensing yourself in the presence of a writer of immense intellectual power and fierce independence of mind. ' - Janet Soskice from the Introduction to the Routledge Classics edition Simone Weil (1909–1943) is one of the most brilliant and unorthodox religious and philosophical thinkers of the twentieth century. She was also a political activist who worked in the Renault car factory in France in the 1930s and fought briefly as an anarchist in the Spanish Civil War. Hailed by Albert Camus as 'the only great spirit of our times ' her work spans an astonishing variety of subjects from ancient Greek philosophy and Christianity to oppression political freedom and French national identity. Waiting for God is one of her most remarkable books full of piercing spiritual and moral insight. The first part comprises letters she wrote in 1942 to Jean-Marie Perrin a Dominican priest and demonstrate the intense inner conflict Weil experienced as she wrestled with the demands of Christian belief and commitment. She then explores the 'just balance' of the world arguing that we should regard God as providing two forms of guidance: our ability as human beings to think for ourselves; and our need for both physical and emotional 'matter. ' She also argues for the concept of a 'sacred longing'; that humanity's search for beauty both in the world and within each other is driven by our underlying desire for a tangible god. Eloquent and inspiring Waiting for God asks profound questions about the nature of faith doubt and morality that continue to resonate today. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Introduction by Janet Soskice and retains the Foreword to the 1979 edition by Malcolm Muggeridge.

Neoliberalizing the University: Implications for American Democracy

Neoliberalizing the University: Implications for American Democracy

This collection brings together essays to address the crisis of Higher Education today focusing on its neoliberalization. Higher Education has been under assault for several decades as neoliberalism’s preference for market-based reforms sweeps across the US political economy. The recent push for neoliberalizing the academy comes at a time when it is ripe for change especially as it continues to confront growing financial pressure particularly in the public sector. The resulting cutbacks in public funding especially to state universities led to a variety of debilitating changes: increases in tuition growing student debt more students combining working and schooling declining graduation rates for minorities and low-income students increased reliance on adjuncts and temporary faculty and most recently growing interest in mass processing of students via online instruction. While many serious questions arise once we begin to examine what is happening in higher education today one particularly critical question concerns the implications of these changes on the relationship of education to as yet still unrealized democratic ideals. The 12 essays collected in this volume create important resources for students faculty citizens and policymakers who want to find ways to address contemporary threats to the higher education-democracy connection. This book was originally published as a special issue of New Political Science. | Neoliberalizing the University: Implications for American Democracy
