(David McLellan presents case studies of Simone Weil, Rein...)
David McLellan presents case studies of Simone Weil, Reinhold Neibuhr, liberation theology, and the Green movement in an attempt to demonstrate an intimate connection between politics and the Christian religion, arguing that such a connection is both inevitable and desirable. After briefly reviewing the classical political theoretical tradition, McLellan explores how the conservative political thought of Simone Weil flowed from the concept of the distant, transcendent God of her Platonised Christianity. By contrast, Reinhold Niebuhr used theology to interpet experience, which gave a philosophical and theological depth to his support of American liberal democracy. For him, the United States was a dynamic spiritual reality. Liberation theology presents the tightest connection between religion and politics with the view that God's action in history is manifest as God acts to empower the poor. Finally, McLellan surveys the Green movement which claims to transcend existing Western political traditions. Here he compares the two creation stories in Genesis - one emphasising dominion, the other stewardship - to illustrate how the Judeo-Christian tradition has structured our understanding of nature. Central to the thesis of "Unto Caesar" is McLellan's argument that religion is not solely a dependent variable but has some substantial influence at times on the society in which we live and therefore is a fitting subject of interest for all, whether they are believers or not.

Simone Weil's short life was as extraordinary as her writings. Colleague of Sartre and de Beauvoir, she fought with the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War and died of self-starvation at only 34, while serving with de Gaulle and the Free French in London. A life of immense political activity was united with a profound and highly unorthodox religiousness. Many more consider her the best spiritual writer of our century and a true saint of modern times.

The premis of this study is that Marx's world view was very much a product of its time, and as such, it can only be understood in relation to the intellectual climate in which it was conceived. In this text, the author examines the influential force of the Young Hegelian movement, and discusses the work of the leading Young Hegelians, including Bruno Bauer, Feuerbach, Stirner and Hess - and their influence on Marx.

(Simone Weil's short life was as extraordinary as her writ...)
Simone Weil's short life was as extraordinary as her writings. Born in 1909, she was a brilliant philosophy student in the Paris of the 1920s and colleague of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. She fought on the anarchist side in the Spanish Civil War and died, at the age of only thirty-four, while serving with de Gaulle and the Free French in London. This life of intense activity was united with a profoundly religious outlook on life. Many consider her the best spiritual writer of our century and a true saint for modern times. Simone Weil published almost nothing during her lifetime. The publication of her complete works is only now beginning in France. They reveal a mind of amazing lucidity and depth. This biography draws on hitherto unpublished material to explain her thought in the context of her life. Its comprehensive coverage at last makes available to the public the most intriguing personality of our age.
