Sommario/riassunto |
|
The author looks in depth at Simone Weil's interpretations of 'Antigone', the 'Iliad', 'Prometheus Bound', and 'Electra', and argues that Weil's interpretations of classical works, written just before and during World War II, were the philosphers' answer to the spiritual ills of ideology and war. |
