Weil is a much more lucid and practicable thinker than heidegger. Cant imagine them getting on at all personally.

I agree. I made/forced(?) a connection that I don’t think is based on a natural congruence of their thought. The connection flows from my own perspective.

My own prejudices are also at play. I esteem weil and not heidegger. But there is a fundamental disconnect re plato and metaphysics. Attention might be a place where they do speak to eachother. Interesting post in any case!

Very intriguing. Thanks. Suspending a thought. It reminded me of the 2nd commandment, do not make images.

Thank you Eugene. I'm making a bold, and uncommon, connection between Heidegger and Weil. I think it works. If it does, connecting the two will be an immense help in my project. Hopefully bringing the two together will stand the test of time. I'll keep moving forward :-)
