The essay was sent via a letter to her friend and mentor, the Catholic priest, and Dominican friar, Father Joseph-Marie Perrin O.P. It set out her belief that school studies should provide the individual pupil or student with an education in the value and acquisition of attention. This, Weil believed, would be of fundamental value when reaching out to God through prayer. Such a capacity for attention would also enhance the student’s general academic and social learning providing a basis for authentic dialogue with others, and not only teachers and schoolfellows. The article introduces her as a religious philosopher, explains the origins of the essay, and Weil’s friendship with Father Perrin, who was her Christian religious mentor, examines the text itself, considers some critical commentaries, and assesses its relevance to the philosophy and practice of education today.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru">Цель этой статьи - дать комментарий к короткому, но основополагающему эссе Симоны Вейль «Размышления об использовании учебных занятий в воспитании любви к Богу». Оно дополняет более раннюю работу Вейль «Лекции по философии». Эссе было отправлено через письмо ее другу и наставнику, католическому священнику, и доминиканскому монаху, отцу Джозефу-Мари Перрину. В нем изложено ее убеждение в том, что школьные занятия должны дать отдельному ребенку или ученику образование в ценности и приобретении внимания. Вейл верила, что это будет иметь основополагающее значение при обращении к Богу через молитву. Такая способность к вниманию также способствовала бы общему академическому и социальному обучению учащегося, обеспечивая основу для подлинного диалога с другими, а не только с учителями и школьными товарищами. Статья представляет ее автора как религиозного философа, объясняет происхождение эссе и дружбу Вейль с отцом Перрином, который был ее христианским религиозным наставником, исследует сам текст, рассматривает некоторые критические комментарии и оценивает его отношение к философии и практике образование сегодня.</trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Simone Weil</kwd><kwd>School Studies</kwd><kwd>Attention</kwd><kwd>Prayer</kwd><kwd>God</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Симона Вейль</kwd><kwd>школьные занятия</kwd><kwd>внимание</kwd><kwd>молитва</kwd><kwd>Бог</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Morgan WJ.
