O SOFRIMENTO COMO PATHOS EM SIMONE WEIL

Abstract

The main objective of this article is the problem of suffering in the philosophy of Simone Weil (1909-1943). Its purpose is to address the core aspects according to which it forms in the scope of Weilian thought, in order to culminate in the assimilation of suffering as a pathos. The itinerary that will be profitable to use to facilitate this design begins with the characterization of the conception of the French philosopher about the nature of philosophy. This will make it possible to understand her determination to participate in the working condition, where the main elements that break up into the Weilian concept of suffering were constituted. It is therefore pertinent to elucidate the concept of malheur, which is decisive for the subject in question, and subsequently to go through the reconfiguration of the problem of suffering in Weil through his contact with Christianity and the experience of grace.
