Saints of the Impossible is a wild book everyone interested in Bataille or Weil should read, I recall it flips Weil's rationality and championing of life on its head, read through Bataille/Blue of Noon. Did you get to read it Craig? Always thought Weil read through Bataille would be to your liking. I read she may have gotten the concept of Tzimtzum in a roundabout way through Schelling, wish I could find the source again. Kenosis is also a related term, I guess. Wish she had more time to reckon with her shortcomings 😔 I was shocked when I learned Novis was Kenny's actual name haha
Yesss!!!! Funny coincidence, Simone Weil used to go by the pen name Emile Novis.
