Curious... the article starts out by saying: "And the task of disseminating her canon and her influence is still, almost unbelievably, only just beginning" and then never mentiones the question of the copyright on her works. Simone Weil died 80 years ago, so her work should be out of copyright by now, but I can't find any of it on-line.

This seems to be the French text of “Gravity and Grace”. The English translation dates from 1997; her other works are even less known and less likely to have sufficiently old translations. Copyright really does screw over lesser-known philosophers.
- whynotmaybe 3y agoInteresting yellow note on the right side about the fact that her work is public domain in Canada (50 years after her death) but it might not be the case in other places (70 years) and that if you download it illegally, it's your responsibility.
- thebooktocome 3y agoIt’s an old note. She died in 1943; it’s been eighty years.
