Reviews

'Simone Weil’s interest in non-Western philosophical and religious sources is frequently mentioned but rarely treated in depth. With Dharma and Detachment, Nicolas Bommarito has taken away any excuse for ignoring the importance of Indian and Tibetan thought to Weil’s work. This book is an invaluable tool for researchers and also serves as a helpful introduction for newcomers to either Simone Weil or Indian and Tibetan thought.' - Mac Loftin, Harvard University, USA
