THE SHAPING OF THE CONCEPT OF CONTRADICTION ON SIMONE WEIL’S PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the double origin of the notion of contradiction – teaching experience and political incursions – which is present in the Weilian texts of the 30s of the last century, indicating the importance of this notion for the Weilian’s philosophy which was elaborated in a particularly intense way in the philosopher’s last years of life (between 1940 and 1943).

Keywords: Contradiction. Teaching experience. Political experience. Science. Analogy.
