The article provides a comment on Simone Weil’s Lectures on Philosophy. There is a brief Introduction followed by a summary of Weil’s life which indicates her various interest as a religious thinker, mystic, anarchist, and political activist and some of the important academic commentaries on these aspects of her life and work. The source of the Lectures on Philosophy edited by her pupil Anne Reynaud-Guérithault is then discussed followed by a detailed summary of and comment on the Lectures themselves. They are grouped under five headings which are considered in turn. These are: The materialist point of view; after the discovery of mind; politics and social theory; ethics and aesthetics; miscellaneous topics and essay plans. There is a further discussion of Simone Weil’s later philosophical thought which shows that what she published reveals classical learning and intellectual quality, but also the several antimonies with which she struggled in her thinking, the two major influences on her thought being Ancient Greece and Christianity. There is a short Conclusion and Bibliography.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru">Цель данной статьи состоит в том, чтобы познакомить читателя с интеллектуальными предпосылками философской мысли Симоны Вейль, посредством краткого изложения и комментария к « Лекциям по философии » (1978), прочитанным ею в период преподавания в Роанской школе для девочек в департаменте Луара во Франции. Статья содержит комментарии к «Лекциям по философии» Симоны Вейль. В кратком Введении представлено изложение биографии Вейль, которое отражает ее интересы как религиозной мыслительницы, мистика, анархистки и политической активистки, сопровождаемое комментариями этих аспектов ее жизни. Далее представляется источник «Лекций по философии» под редакцией ученицы Вейль, Анн Рейно-Герисо, а затем приводится изложение самих лекций и последующие комментарии к ним. Они объединены пятью темами: материалистический взгляд; после открытия разума; политика и социальная теория; этика и эстетика; различные темы и планы эссе. Далее обсуждается более поздняя философская мысль Симоны Вейль, которая показывает, что ее опубликованные работы были свидетельством классического обучения и высокого интеллектуального развития. Также обнаруживаются противоречия, с которыми Симоне Вейль приходилось бороться в своем мышлении. Два основных фактора, влияющих на ее философскую мысль, - это Древняя Греция и христианство. Далее следует краткое Заключение и Библиография .</trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Simone Weil</kwd><kwd>lectures</kwd><kwd>philosophical thought</kwd><kwd>Ancient Greece</kwd><kwd>Christianity</kwd><kwd>Judaism</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Симона Вейль</kwd><kwd>лекции</kwd><kwd>философская мысль</kwd><kwd>Древняя Греция</kwd><kwd>христианство</kwd><kwd>иудаизм</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Guilherme A, Morgan WJ.
