SUMMARY:Conversation with The Rev. Eric O. Springsted | Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an online conversation with The Rev. Eric O. 
 Springsted as he discusses his latest book\, an in-depth study examining 
 the social\, religious\, and philosophical thought of Simone Weil. Ron 
 Collins\, the Lewes Library’s Distinguished Lecture\, will interview Dr. 
 Springsted with whom he is co-editing a forthcoming book on Simone 
 Weil.\n\nEric O. Springsted is one of the foremost Simone Weil scholars in 
 the world. He is the author and editor of a dozen books\, including his 
 latest one titled Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century. Beyond being a 
 guide to reading Weil\, this book argues for the importance of Weil’s 
 thought in the contemporary times in everything from politics to matters of 
 faith. In this book Dr. Springsted also stresses the need for human beings 
 to understand themselves as communal beings and not as isolated individuals 
 obsessed with their own claims of rights.\n\nDr. Springsted is the 
 co-founder of the American Weil Society and served as its president for 
 thirty-three years. After a career as a teacher\, scholar\, and pastor\, he 
 retired and lives in Santa Fe\, NM.\n\nNOTE: this meeting is being
